Giovanni delle Bande Nere (P434) is the fifth ship of Paolo Thaon di Revel-class offshore patrol vessel.

Development and design[]

Italian Navy ordered the new MBDA TESEO MK/2E heavy-duty missile (TESEO "EVO"), a long-range anti-ship missilewith also strategic land attack capability. The missile will have a new terminal "head" with dual RF seeker (Radio Frequency) and, presumably, given the need to even attack ground targets, IIR (Imaging IR). Compared to the predecessor OTOMAT/TESEO, the TESEO "EVO" MK/2E has a double range or more than 360 km. Former OTOMAT is accredited for a range of action of more than 180 km.[1][2][3]

Construction and career[]

Giovanni delle Bande Nere was laid down on 25 June 2020 at Fincantieri Muggiano and expected to be launched in October 2022.[4] Expected to be commissioned in October 2024.
