Italian Navy takes delivery of ninth FREMM frigate

The frigate measures 144 by 19.7 metres, displaces approximately 6,700 tonnes, and can reach speeds of over 27 knots or sail up to 6,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 15 knots. Accommodation is available for up to 200 crewmembers and other personnel.

A high level of automation has been integrated into next-generation onboard systems, used for all onboard services. Fincanctieri said this approach contributes to ensuring high operational availability, supported by an optimised maintenance profile.
