MADRID (AP) \u2014 Spain\u2019s state-owned shipbuilder says it has called back for security reasons four Spanish technicians in Venezuela who were readying for final delivery a navy patrol ship sold 14 years ago to the Venezuelan government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesman with Navantia<\/a> says the recall doesn\u2019t change the shipbuilder\u2019s plan to deliver the vessel, which is called Eternal Commander Hugo Chavez<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the last of eight similar ships that the former Venezuelan leader bought from Spain in 2005<\/a> for $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
