The defenders

Building military craft to increasingly demanding performance standards for increasingly elaborate scenarios is now tougher than ever before. We have been doing this for more than 230 years, during which time we have delivered over 2,000 vessels. Authentic high-tech masterpieces, designed and built for the Italian Navy, numerous foreign Navies and other State Bodies.
