The Armada Española's new 27,000 ton vessel, Juan Carlos I, lies tied up alongside in Ferrol on Spain's Galician coastline in the northwest of the country.To all intents and purposes above the waterline, it appears ready to nose out through the heads at the end of the natural harbour and put to sea in the Bay of Biscay for the first time on sea trials. Indeed, it was due to begin trials in August, but in July these were postponed as the twin results of what constructor Navantia described as an easily fixed technical hitch with one of the ship's two MAN diesel engines, and the customary Spanish holiday season in August, which effectively closed down the shipyard.
