Second ship of six Spanish-built frigates based on the USN Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) design. Laid down on August 16, 1983 and Launched on July 23, 1986, Victoria was commissioned in service on November 11, 1987. All of these Spanish FFG's have the length of the later Oliver Hazard Perry FFG's, and have a wider beam than the USN design, and therefore able to carry more top weight. Fin stabilizers are fitted.
