==Organization==
[[File:Monolitomarina.jpg|thumb|Monolit of Spanish Navy in [[La Coruña]].]]
The Spanish Navy shares the organization model of its two sister services – the [[Spanish Army]] and the [[Spanish Air and Space Force]]. Each of them consists of a Headquarters (''Cuartel general''), a Force (''Fuerza'', composed of the operational units) and a Force Support (''Apoyo a la fuerza'', composed of administration, logistical and training units). For historical traditions the Force of the Spanish Navy is called Fleet (''Flota'') and the two terms are used interchangeably. At the head of the Navy is an ''Almirante general'' (a four-star rank reserved for the Chief of the Spanish Navy and the Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces, when the latter position is held by a naval officer), denominated AJEMA or Admiral Chief of the General Staff of the Navy (''Almirante Jefe de Estado Mayor de la Armada''). Counterintuitive to this official designation he holds authority over all three components of the service and the officer, who actually functions as Chief of Staff is a three-star ''Almirante'', designated Admiral Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Navy (''Almirante Segundo Jefe del Estado Mayor de la Armada'' or ''2º AJEMA'')
