An Attack Torpedo from Submarine S 81 “Isaac Peral” Directly Hits and Sinks the Old Patrol Boat “Infanta Elena”

An DM2A4 attack torpedo launched from the submarine S 81 “Isaac Peral” —commander, CC Fernando Clavijo Rey-Stolle— has directly hit the old high-seas patrol boat “Infanta Elena”, used as a naval target to test the combat capabilities of the first of the S-80 plus series.

The submarine participates for the first time in the Dédalo 26-02 Expeditionary Combat Group and is expected to subsequently join the allied operation "Sea Guardian", focused on maritime surveillance and the fight against terrorism in the Mediterranean.

The exercise Sinkex-26 allows training with real weaponry and checking its effectiveness, as well as improving coordination among ships, submarines, and aircraft.
