In commemoration of the 125th anniversary of the launching of the submarine Peral, to the memory of its inventor Isaac Peral born in Cartagena, we find Diego Quevedo miss Carmona, Senior Chief of submarine weapon of our country, we believe that active, which has devoted much of his life to the study, screening, dissemination of the life and work of Isaac Peral, and if somewhere figure, we regret not having been able to locate, so we apologize beforehand.
