After 43 years of service in the Spanish Armada, initially as a powerful combat frigate and for the last 20 years only lightly armed as a patrol vessel (OPV), the "Infanta Elena" (Princess Helena, eldest daughter of Juan Carlos I) will now also retire from active service in mid-March as the penultimate unit of the "Descubierta" class.

Fishing had already died out in the 1970s, and the flow of material from the USA dried up in the 1990s.
