Designed to maximise strategic projection and operational versatility, the Juan Carlos I (L-61) is a strategic projection ship that combines the roles of aircraft carrier, amphibious assault ship and logistics platform.
Thanks to its modular design and advanced capabilities, this vessel can carry out military, humanitarian and disaster relief operations. It has a floodable dock, a large flight deck, hangars, cargo areas and modern combat, communication and control systems, making it a key part of the Spanish Navy's operations.
The Juan Carlos I is an international benchmark in naval engineering. Its success has served as the basis for similar programmes in allied navies, consolidating Spain as a leader in advanced amphibious platform technology.
With the capacity to operate vertical take-off aircraft and helicopters of different types, the Juan Carlos I guarantees a flexible air projection, key to both combat operations and humanitarian missions.
The Juan Carlos I is ready to serve as a flagship, integrating C4ISR capabilities that make it the ideal operational core for coordinating naval, air and land forces in complex scenarios.
