They will have the Spanish, i.e. the native SCOMBA combat management system, will be 145 meters long and 18 meters wide, while their displacement will reach 6,100 tons. They will be driven by the CODELADOG (COmbined Diesel-Electric And Diesel Or Gas) hybrid drive system from one GE LM-2500 gas turbine and four MTU 4000 diesel engines powering two electric motors. The whole will be complemented by a power supply system consisting of four power generators with a capacity of 3 MW each.
