Spain's government has given the green light for the stationing of two more US Navy ships, bringing the number of US destroyers stationed in Rota to six.

The sails will be pulled out of the mast like a roller blind (furling main) and set automatically from the deck. This means that a ship planned in this way will have more sail area than the German Navy's training ship, the "Gorch Fock". In addition, an engine will be installed that can run on green methanol (e-fuel). In the coming months...
