I think you should all wait until this is confirmed by the Spanish government. Apart from the incredibility of a navy with a total personnel strength smaller than the crew of the ship being the customer of a second hand aircraft carrier one of the reports also mentioned the Angolans were to buy the Spanish Newport News class LST. The USA does not allow the sale of such equipment onto third parties without approval through a considerable process. It’s inconceivable that they would have allowed such a sale to Angola without a whimper.
