The Italian Navy has taken delivery of the newly built logistics support ship LSS Vulcano from Fincantieri s Naval Integrated shipyard in Muggiano, Italy.
The 193-meter LSS Vulcano is part of the FLOTLOG (Flotte Logistique) program, which includes the construction of four LSS destined to the French Navy, by the temporary consortium between Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Naval Group under the Italian-French LSS Program led by OCCAR (Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation). The construction of the forward sections of these ships has been commissioned to Fincantieri, which last month laid the keel of the first vessel at its shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia, Naples.
Four partner nations leading the Eurodrone/European RPAS programme are expected to sign off on a full development contract next year, but industry are already making production plans.
