Spain’s New F-110 Frigate: Exclusive Tour Aboard Bonifaz (F-111)

Naval News steps aboard the Spanish Navy’s first-in-class F-110 frigate, Bonifaz (F-111), joined by F-110 Program Director Rafael Seijo for an exclusive tour of the next-generation anti-submarine warfare combatant.

Recorded in May, the walkthrough covers the vessel’s first deployment of a naval digital twin, Lockheed Martin’s SPY-7 radar on a low-observable integrated mast, and a CODELAG propulsion plant with reserve power margins for future directed-energy weapons. The tour also highlights the 170-square-meter multi-mission space for uncrewed systems, acoustic stealth mounts in the machinery room, and the stern ASW suite with the Thales CAPTAS-4 compact sonar and Nixie countermeasures. It concludes on the bridge, reviewing the ship’s primary striking power, including ESSM, Naval Strike Missiles, and the Leonardo 5-inch main gun.
