The European Multi-Mission Frigate (FREMM) Carabiniere of the Navy arrived today in Manama where it will support until the 26 April 2017.
The frigate arrived in the port of the capital of Bahrain after the stops in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan, Oman and Kuwait taking part in various exercises with the local navies.
24 Monday at the local 14.30 (13.30 in Italy) the commander of the ship, frigate captain Francesco Pagnotta will hold a press conference on board during which he will present the naval campaign in progress and will illustrate the ship, jewel of Italian shipbuilding. The naval squad leader Admiral Donato Marzano will attend the same squad.
Ship Carabiniere is the fourth FREMM unit delivered to the Italian Navy in the "anti-submarine" 2015 version in April and is equipped with the latest generation weapon system, defense and discovery, at the forefront both in the military and civil sectors.
The unit will be committed to ensuring presence, maritime surveillance, strengthening cooperation activities already underway with some trans-regional allies and initiating relations with new potential partners, in the framework of the institutional tasks entrusted to the armed force.
The Nave campaign Carabiniere, left from La Spezia last December 20, reflects an international vision that traces this beginning of the millennium as a "blue century". That of "blue growth" is considered a key factor on which to aim for sustainable development of our country in a context where maritime is a fundamental resource for commercial growth, employment and technology.
The initiative was born with the collaboration of Fincantieri (main sponsor), Leonardo, MBDA Italia, Elettronica, Telespazio and Drass.
