The Álvaro de Bazán class (also known as the F100 class of frigates) are a new class of Aegis combat system-equipped air defense frigates entering service with the Spanish Navy. They are being built in the Spanish factory of Ferrol and are named after Admiral Álvaro de Bazán. The ships utilize American Aegis weapons technology allowing them to track hundreds of airborne targets simultaneously as part of its air defense network. The F100 Alvaro de Bazan class multirole frigate is one of the few non-US warships to carry the SPY-1D AEGIS system (Japan's Kongo class also uses SPY-1). The Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen class of frigates is a derivative design. The F100 will also be the basis of the Australian Hobart class destroyer (previously known as the "Air Warfare Destroyer"). The Australian government announced in June 2007 that, in partnership with Navantia, three F100 vessels will be built for the Royal Australian Navy with the first due for delivery in 2014. Lockheed Martin, Navantia and the U.S. Navy are conducting final systems integration. Recently the Spanish Navy signed a 72 million USD contract to buy and install 24 Tomahawk missiles in the F100 fleet. During the first 5 years of service, this technology cannot be used by the Spanish Navy without the permission of US authorities.
