On September 30, the fifth FREMM class unit (program European Multi Mission Frigates).

The day before, the Navy and Fincantieri wanted to offer the specialized press a rare opportunity to be present at sea trials. "It is not a usual practice", we were told. We, to thank for the trust placed, we turned on the video camera allowing us to get on board the 200.000 monthly readers of the magazine ...

The admiral inspector Matteo Bisceglia, one of the greatest architects of the best qualitative realization of the unit and director of the Naval Armaments, was "poisoned" for the distorted use of some passages of his speech to the Senate by a newspaper. In order not to run the risk of involuntarily falling into such a mistake, we tell the protagonists the genesis and quality of the Alpine.

Commendable, it should be emphasized, the accurate description of the unit made by the man who the next day would have assumed command, the commander Marcello Grivelli. An excellent (how patient ...) communicator.

Good vision!
