Fincantieri

The keel-laying ceremony for the first next-generation U212NFS destined for the Italian Navy was held today at our Muggiano shipyard, as part of the program for the construction of four submarines and the development of related logistic support, managed and entrusted to OCCAR. Delivery of the first U212NFS is scheduled for 2029. The U212NFS submarine class represents a substantial evolution compared to its U212A predecessors, thanks to greater design maturity, a higher level of national technological content, an improved integration of onboard systems and innovations developed by Italian industry — including the lithium-ion propulsion battery and the new combat system — that will ensure greater stealth, endurance, efficiency, and cyber resilience. We are proud to leverage our expertise in the U212NFS program, which makes a decisive contribution to preserving and enhancing national industrial know-how, consolidating the technological advantage of Fincantieri and the entire Italian supply chain, reaffirming our commitment to a more innovative future and safer seas. @ItalianNavy
