Reina Sofía (F-84) is the fourth of six Spanish-built Santa Maria-class frigates, based on the American Oliver Hazard Perry class design, for the Spanish Navy. All of these Spanish frigates have the length of the later Oliver Hazard Perry frigates, with a wider beam than the US Navy design.
Laid down on 12 October 1987, and launched on 19 July 1989, Reina Sofía was commissioned in service on 30 October 1990. She is named for Queen Sofía of Spain.
