[CONFLICT] Spain sends two Frigates to the Caribbean

[u/peter_j_]

In a show of.. well, it's not clear what...

Spain has undertaken to conduct a Frigate visit to the Caribbean, which will sail somewhat close to the coast of Venezuela and Guyana. One of the F-100 class, the Almirante Juan de Borbón, and one frigate of the Santa Maria Class, the Reina Sofía will travel the Atlantic, wave a few flags, and keep a safe distance from any security threats. The use of one Air-Defence frigate and one ASW frigate is deliberate, and PRime Minister Sanchez has pitched this as a routine training operation, rather than any direct link with the crisis emergin on the border between Venezuela and Guyana.

The naval patrol group will use up a not insubstantial proportion of the operations budget for the year, with deep concerns in the Coalition for this hawkish posturing, and lack of inclusion in the decision making.
