The president of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, Valentín González Formoso, attended this Tuesday in Ferrol the launch of the frigate F-112 ‘Roger de Lauria’, an event that consolidates the city's role as a benchmark for military naval construction and represents a new milestone for the Galician naval industry.

The new frigate, the second of the five units planned in the F-110 program, was floated out four months ahead of the initially scheduled timeline. The event brought together institutional representatives, Navantia officials, Navy members, shipyard workers, and numerous residents from the region.
The provincial president participated in this important event for the naval sector of Ferrolterra, a strategic industry for the economy of the province of A Coruña due to its job creation capacity and its role in technological and industrial development.
The Provincial Council of A Coruña emphasizes the importance of the F-110 program to ensure the continuity of activity at the Ferrol shipyards, promote innovation, and strengthen the network of auxiliary companies involved in the construction of these vessels.

The F-110 program, which includes the construction of five state-of-the-art frigates, is one of the main industrial and technological projects underway in Galicia and reinforces Ferrol's position as one of Europe's major military naval construction centers.
