Ysabel

The Ysabel (A-06) is a roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) logistics transport ship operated by the Spanish Navy. It is primarily used to transport military vehicles, troops, and heavy equipment between the Spanish mainland, its overseas territories, and international deployment zones. The vessel provides essential strategic sealift capabilities to the Spanish Armed Forces.

Originally built in 2003 as the civilian merchant vessel Galicia, the ship was purchased by the Spanish Ministry of Defense in late 2020 to replace aging logistics transports. Following refitting and adaptation for military service, it was commissioned into the Spanish Navy in June 2021 as Ysabel. Since its entry into service, the vessel has supported various national and international logistics missions, including transporting military aid to Ukraine in 2022.
