Name not Reina Isabel. name correct is YSABEL.

Belonging to the army, so no ESPS prefix either, I guess.
So it is "Reina Ysabel A06"...

Any objections?

Cheers,
Jens

It will be adapted to transport light and heavy infantry vehicles, battle tanks, etc ... It is a ship with the capacity to transport more than 100 trailers. And it belongs to the land army, not the navy.

Does the Spanish government really have THAT many cars ?

Ysabel is a common name in South America....indeed, the "Y" is often placed into names & words where one would normally expect n "I"...They often refer to Spanish as Castellano considered "purer" than L.A Spanish.
I guess a nod to the colonials of yesteryear.

That's puzzling, indeed. So we'll wait and see which name finally will be the right one... :-)

Thanks Jens,
yes, it seems that may be the chosen name ...
but in this link:

https://www.lavozdigital.es/cadiz/provincia/lvdi-defensa-aparca-transformacion-integral-ferry-civil-buque-transporte-militar-202102121827_noticia.html

they talk about "Reina Isabel"; and previously only of "Isabel".

Really, "Ysabel" with "Y" is not a Spanish name, is an strange name for a spanish ship.
