Spain’s navy?
Hmmm! It is like we got two ships, and you got two ships. Let’s play ship-ship.
I mean Spanishi navy is at the bottom of heap in Europe. The “vast cooperation” will be around 1 ship, 1 aircraft, and 1 brown-water submarine. That is good cooperation but hardy qualify as “vast”.](“http://www.dawn.com/2006/05/09/nat1.htm”)
Re: Naval ties with Spain
The Spanish navy may not be the best in Europe, but it sure is better than any navy in our sub-continent. And, they do have quite a lot of ships. The F100 class frigates with Aegis CS are quite good. Not to mention, it also has a carrier (currently occupied by STOVL heli's and/or harriers), which may be loaded with EF soon.
