The ship, launched in 1973 and acquired by the Army in 1990, was withdrawn from service in September 2020. She was sunk as part of the Sinkex 23 exercise, through the coordinated launch of anti-ship missiles from the frigates \"M\u00e9ndez N\u00fa\u00f1ez\" and \"Canarias\"<\/strong> and from an SH-60B Seahawk helicopter from the 10th Squadron.<\/p>\n

Until now, the Spanish Navy had spread images of the towing of the \"Mart\u00edn Posadillo\"<\/a> by the offshore tugboat \"Mar Caribe\" A-101 to the area where it was melted down, south of the Canary Islands, but in these weeks no images of the sinking had been shown<\/strong>. Only videos of the launch of missiles by the aforementioned frigates were disseminated, but not a single image of the \"Mart\u00edn Posadillo\" sinking. Today, finally, the Navy has published a tweet showing a video of the frigate \"Canarias\" with images of the sinking of the \"Mart\u00edn Posadillo\"<\/a>:<\/p>\n
