Thanks to ...

First of all I´d like to thank my wife, for her infinite patience, and my mother for her support.
Secondly to the people at the Foro de la Armada Española ( Spanish Navy forum ), for becoming colaborators and informers, always willing to help, whom have teached, and told many stories and details that I did not know, and that contributed enriching this website, making it what it is today.
I´d also like to thank the people at RevistaNaval.com, specially Xoán Portó, for allowing me to get closer to the Spanish Navy, and to understand better the world around it.
To the professionals of our Armada and to those serving in other navies, that I have met on my visits aboard, always being an inmense pleasure meeting with. YOU make this site possible.
Thanks to my hobby comrades out there, Antonio and Bruno.
