Work began on building carrier in dry dock , in July 2001 . And will be delivered to the Italian Navy in 2007. Will be the total tonnage of carrying 22 thousand tons , and a length of 35 m , and speed of 52 km / h . It can provide subsistence for a 1290 crew , including Abrar strength of 450 personnel.

Took the primary design of the carrier about two years. The design is characterized by the fact that carrier able to operate an aircraft carrier, and at the same time , the transfer of armored vehicles with veal or pork , during various operations tasks . To carry out the role of the aircraft carrier , the ship will provide landing and takeoff surface , fit for the use of helicopters or planes that need to be short- listed , or combat aircraft with vertical take-off VSTOL Aircraft. And provide a place for boarding aircraft , an area of ​​about 2,500 m² .

The helicopters will provide potential role for the carrier amphibian , and possessing the possibility of rapid transport to the landing forces , to the distant location of the carrier . Design takes into account the carrier to accept the development work , in the future , to receive modern aircraft developed .

Of the other specifications of the carrier fit on a field hospital , three rooms to conduct operations , and suites for patients, and advanced medical equipment , and the Department of dental surgery and laboratory.

Carrier will provide the European missile system SAAM / IT, which is firing rockets of the type Aster 15 , which uses radar antenna The multi-tasking , sort of AMS Empar, which performs the functions of search and surveillance , tracking and fire leadership . The carrier will provide Bmdfien kind of OTO Melara, 76 mm caliber , and three anti-aircraft guns of 25 mm caliber .

Carrier will use a system of gasoline-powered engines and diesel-powered , four turbines provide a capacity of 120 thousand horsepower .

The Escort Aircraft Carrier

The escort aircraft carrier is a type of aircraft carrier small which was built and used during the Second World War.

 These ships were originally designed to provide air protection for convoys of ships that sailed too far away from the coast to be protected by land-based aircraft .

Lightly armed and protected, navigating less than 20 knots , they were not designed to participate in naval battles in which some of them still involved in the Pacific Ocean ( Battle of Leyte Gulf ) were .


use:
In the Battle of the Atlantic , these ships have played an essential role in the protection of convoys against attacks by German submarines by detecting and possibly attacking them.

 In the Pacific, the American escort carriers played multiple roles such as air protection of convoys carrying aircraft to remote bases , protection against submarines and support ground operations .

Pending implementation massive service, emergency solutions such as CAM ships , cargo ships modified to carry a hunter, were implemented.



design:
These boats , a trip between 10 000 and 20 000 tonnes , were often constructed from shells merchant ships or passengers , nevertheless the United States conducted a series of 50 ships designed from the outset for this purpose.

The majority of escort carriers were built by the United States , the United Kingdom and Japan , the five built by him were all killed in combat.

The escort carriers ( Escort carrier) first brought the stroke code and CVE in the list of codes registrations of ships of the U.S. Navy .
