Teague Suarez, commanding officer of Naval Station Rota, Spain, greets Spanish Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, during her ship tour of Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79), Oct. 18, 2024. Oscar Austin is the first of two additional DDGs to join the Forward Deployed Naval Force-Europe (FDNF-E) force. As the "Gateway to the Mediterranean,” NAVSTA Rota provides U.S., NATO and allied forces a strategic hub for operations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. NAVSTA Rota is a force multiplier, capable of promptly deploying and supporting combat-ready forces through land, air and sea, enabling warfighters and their families, sustaining the fleet and fostering the U.S. and Spanish partnership.
