S-81 Submarine "Isaac Peral"

A REAL BOMB FOR ITS IMPORTANCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE NEW S-81 ISAAC PERAL THAT OPENS NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR THE SPANISH NAVAL INDUSTRY

The princess of Asturias, the Infanta Leonor, in her capacity as godmother of the new ship, cut the ribbon that at noon on April 22, 2021 and smashed the traditional bottle against the hull of the "Isaac Peral", not only inaugurated a new era for the war fleet of the Spanish Navy, but had "aroused the interest" of navies from other countries and "open the door" to the global market in a "highly technological" sector  

The next day, from the first hour, the launching maneuver of the submarine began, that is, its launch, although not by traditional means, but by sinking the platform in a deep place in the dock so that it floated freely and later carried by tugboats to their dock in the port

Interesting for the spectacular, the release of ballast of S-81 that I carried out on several occasions in the launch  

Officially due to bad weather conditions, the subsequent launching of the S-81 was suspended until more than 15 days after its baptism ceremony.  

It was almost 15 days since the baptism ceremony, when on the afternoon of May 4, 2021, the submarine was taken out of its warehouse and placed on a floating platform, for its subsequent launching.

This video summarizes almost the more than 10 hours of the launching maneuver of the S-81

First key moment, when the Mediterranean water wet the hull of the S-81 for the first time at 2:25 p.m. (local time) on May 7, 2021

Second key moment when the hull of the S-81 floated freely in the sea at 4:53 p.m. (local time) on May 7, 2021

Some time later we went to Cartagena on several occasions to check in situ the advances in the S-81 to prepare the next departure for its open sea tests.
