Patrol ship.sunk during SINKEX
On Nov 4, 2026, the Spanish Navy sank the 'Infanta Elena' with a single torpedo fired from the submarine 'S-81 Isaac Peral'. As part of the SINKEX 26 exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, the submarine’s crew launched a combat torpedo at the decommissioned patrol ship Infanta Elena, causing it to sink. The exercises allowed for testing the effectiveness of the 'S-81'’s weapon systems and the readiness of its crew under conditions as close to combat as possible. In addition to the submarine, the maneuvers involved the frigates 'Cristóbal Colón (F-105)' and 'Navarra (F-85)', the multi-purpose vessel 'Carnota (A-61)' and the patrol ship 'Relámpago (P-43)'. The air component was provided by three AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft, a helicopter from the 10th Squadron, a ScanEagle drone, and a maritime patrol aircraft from the Spanish Air and Space Force. The exercises demonstrated the submarine forces’ ability to operate covertly and deliver precision strikes against surface targets, while also testing the interoperability of various fleet components. Before sinking, the decommissioned ship was cleared of fuel, lubricants, and other pollutants. The exercise area also underwent hydrographic and environmental inspections, and marine mammals and other protected species were monitored during the live-fire exercises. On Sep 29, the United States and the United Kingdom sank the decommissioned frigate USS 'Klakring' using NSM, Sea Venom, and SM-6 anti-ship missiles, as well as a Mk 48 heavy torpedo.
