Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval

From 1909 up until the Spanish Civil War, the naval construction in Spain was monopolized by the Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval - (SECN) also Spanish Society for Naval Construction (SECN) was largely owned by the British (John Brown and Vickers-Armstrong), and therefore almost all ships were designed after Royal Navy vessels. It is interesting to note that many British technical advisors continued to work in the Spanish shipbuilding yards, workshops, foundries and dry docks (on both sides) during the war.
