The frigate Mistral of the Navy has been radiated in these days by the framework of the military navy of the State.
In its long operational life, 33 years, the ship, the first unit of the "Classe Venti", was the protagonist of many activities at the service of institutions and the community navigating for 42.395 hours of motion and covering almost 600.000 miles (equivalent to about 15 times the turn of the Earth along the equator).
His career ended in 2015 with a campaign in the Italian seas where he touched the main ports of the country to greet the population and convey his latest message of awareness about the spirit of service for the community, the culture of the sea and the environmental protection.
The 15 December 2015 in La Spezia, Nave Mistral has concluded its operational activity with the ritual solemn ceremony of the Ultimate Ammaina Bandiera in the presence of the population and the highest military and civil authorities and today, at the same time as the radiation, the naval unit will take the name of "float" for the subsequent activity of alienation.
With Nave's radiation Mistral, the process of downsizing the Naval Squad continues due to the aging of the units that have matured an average life close to or above the 30 years.
