Why this record matters
The phrase “was a salvage and support vessel for submarines of the Spanish Navy, ceded in 2000 to Mauritania where it served with the name Voum-Legleita (B-551) until its sinking in February 2011” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
