interesting thing thats all i can say.....cao!
The Italians always design good looking ships.
I wonder if it comes with a pasta maker and espresso machine.
..jp like Ferreti Group Yacht.....The Italians always design good looking ships.

Great post. I enjoy reading about new designs by companies or mock-ups shown at military shows. Interesting designs these new corvettes.

On the second model- why not recess the SSM launchers to minimize radar reflections? Seems a bit incongruous considering they made the rest of the ship to be more 'stealthy'.
I'm actually surprised that multi-purpose VLS systems (that can launch SAMs, ASMs...etc.) aren't in much wider use. It would reduce the signature and also save some space.Originally Posted by somedude
