Fincantieri will build for the US Navy the third missile frigate of the "Constellation" class
The value of the contract option is about 536 million dollars
June 17, 2022
The program "Constellation" was awarded to FMM in 2020, with a contract for the first frigate with the option for nine additional ships, in addition to after-sales support and the training of the crews, with a total value of about 5.5 billions of dollars ( of 4 May 2020). As part of the program, the U.S. Navy provides for the construction of an additional ten units, for a total of 20.
Fincantieri has highlighted that in this prestigious tender the company has managed to impose itself on ITS US competitors thanks to a project judged as the most advanced and innovative being the proposal of the Italian group based on the FREMM frigate platform, considered the best in the world under the technological profile, on which a program of ten units is based for the Italian Navy.
Meanwhile, Fincantieri has almost completed the modernization of the own U.S. shipyards aimed at enabling the construction of two frigates every year.
