The Rizzo multi-mission frigate has been delivered to the Italian Navy at Fincantieri's shipyard in Muggiano, La Spezia, the business announced on 20 April.
here's the sixth vessel of the FREMM programme commissioned to Fincantieri in the international Italian-French programme, coordinated by the organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation. The FREMM programme will see the building of 18 vessels; eight for the French Navy, begin constructed with the aid of DCNS; and ten for the Italian Navy, being constructed by Orizzonte Sistemi Navali (fifty one% Fincantieri and forty nine% Leonardo).
The vessels are 144m lengthy with a beam of 19.7m and a displacement at full load of about 6,700 tonnes. Rizzo may have a highest pace of over 27kts and will supply accommodation for a 200 person crew.
The FREMM programme vessels are set to replace the Lupo and Maestrale classification frigates developed with the aid of Fincantieri in the Nineteen Seventies.
