Spain
The Descubierta Class corvettes are ships of Spanish design, which were made taking advantage of the technological experience of Bazán (currently Navantia) in the construction of the João Coutinho class corvettes for the Portuguese Navy, designed by the Portuguese engineer Rogério de Oliveira with collaboration German technique.
Furthermore, these corvettes reinforce Bazán's international expansion, since it was the first modern combat ship designed in Spain to be exported.
In the Spanish Navy, they are affectionately known as the “Atomic Ants” given the powerful weapons they carried for their limited movement.

X.1: The Royal Navy’s Mystery Submarine. Since the age of sail, international law had insisted that warships stop, board, and inspect merchant vessels before sinking them, only after ensuring that crews were “in a place of safety.” Cruisers on the high seas could observe such niceties, but for submarines, surviving on stealth, it was impractical, even suicidal. It was these considerations that led to the Royal Navy’s interest in “cruiser” submarines. X.1 was the largest, most heavily armed submarine in the world when launched on Nov. 16, 1923. The concept of operations was to surface suddenly in the middle of an enemy convoy and open fire to knock out any escorts before finishing off the transports. The broad beam and great size of the vessel made her a stable gun platform, keeping the guns well above the waves.

The 'D' stood for destroyer in the previous numbering system which was RN based. The RAN changed to USN style bow pendant numbers because in the nomenclature the RAN used it was already obvious in the numbering system that the pendant numbers related to destroyers so the 'D' and also 'F' and other letters were done away with
