Ship Launching Ceremony - Base Naval de Ferrol

My roommates and I are lucky enough to have Ferrol's navy base within a 5 minute walk from our doorstep. This last Thursday there was a ship launching ceremony for a particular boat that's been a work in progress since 2003. On rare occasions such as this, the navy base opens its gate and allows spectators to partake in the ceremony. 

The size of these ships are very impressive, it's no wonder they take long to make
