Italian Navy PPA ITS Francesco Morosini (P431)

Naval News takes you aboard ITS Francesco Morosini (P431), one of the latest and most modern surface combatant in the Italian Navy (Marina Militare)'s fleet.
We interview exclusively the commanding officer, CMDR Giovanni Monno, on the PPA (Pattugliatore Polivalente d’Altura) class of patrol vessels.
The PPA are a new class of Italian Navy combatant platforms which represents a technological and capability jump compared to current generation. Design to conduct a wide range of missions, from maritime security to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR), the PPAs are being delivered in three configurations (Light, Light Plus and Full) based on common platform and differencing for the new generation sensors and weapon outfit. With an overall length of 143 m, a beam of 16.5 m, a 5m draught and a displacement of ca 6350 tonnes at full load (PPA in the Full configuration), the PPAs are distinguished by a unique hull design featuring a wave-piercing bow for higher speeds, stabiliser fins positioned amidships, a steel hull up to the first level over the main deck, the superstructures divided into main blocks and two modular multipurpose areas respectively amidship and under the flight deck to accommodate a range of equipment to conduct from military to HADR operations.

This ship is a big step forward. Apart from the revolutionary cockpit, the modularity is just amazing. Removable davits, and crane, that impresive hangar, are making this platform extremely versatile. Actually, this ship can be configured in a very short period of time, to any type of mission. The electric propulsion facilitates even MCM ops. This kind of ships are needed for small navies which can't afford to keep too many classes of specialized warships.

[@lucaiervasi8515]

After the entry into service of the new Orizzonte-class destroyers in the Italian Navy in the second half of the 2000s, the Italian Ministry of Defense decided to replace the Luigi Duran De La Penne-class destroyers and commissioned Fincantieri to design a new type of destroyer. we still know very little about this new class. the little information circulating says that they will be between 175/185 meters long, have a displacement of 11/12,000 tons and will carry 2 helicopters between augustawestland aw101 and nh90. these units are expected to enter service in 2030/35, but the war in ukraine has prompted the ministry to accelerate all ongoing programmes. obviously Italy does not have the budget of the United States, so every single cent must be spent in a targeted way, reducing waste to a minimum. but lately france and another unspecified country have shown interest in the ddx program, this will allow development and design costs to be spread across multiple units and could give greater impetus to the entire program.

the plan provides for the construction of 16 units for the Italian navy, but at the moment only 7 have been financed. divided into 2 Light: light version, suitable for coastal patrolling and combating crime at sea, 3 Light+: medium version, suitable for both coastal patrol and support and combat, 2 Full: heavy version, suitable for front line combat. the displacement varies from 4600 tons of the Light version (the one featured in this video and a light variant) to 6300 tons in Full configuration. all the variants have been designed to be brought to the full version, without making structural changes and in a short time. substantially all the units are already prepared from birth. the war in ukraine prompted the italian ministry of defense to evaluate the possibility of bringing all units to the full version. the p430 Paolo Thaon di Revel and the p431 Francesco Morosini are already in service and are both light. the p432 Raimondo Montecuccoli, will be delivered to the navy in June, and is a light+ version, the p434 Giovanni delle Bande Nere, is carrying out sea trials and will be delivered in 2024, this one and already in full configuration. also in 2024 the p433 Marcantonio Colonna will be delivered, which is in the light+ version. the other 2 have not yet been launched and in the original plans the p435 Ruggiero di Lauria is a light+ variant, while the p436 Domenico Millelire is a full version. but it seems that the p435 hull will also be launched in a full version. both units will be delivered in 2026

Is Italian Navy decided clear the damage control in this concept? If that’s all clear very impressed.

[@CriscCiaddu]

Hi sir. In modern warships the CIC are however placed on the same island as the bridge, behind, below or above the bridge (it depends), usually close to the main Radar. Today's ships are not primarily designed to withstand ASuW missile hits(or other generic Cruise missiles), but have evolved their systems to avoid being hit. In case of successful penetration of a warhead even near the bridge/CIC it would be fatal (both for instruments and for the Staff), especially if the missile contains a heavy warhead or if it's a hypersonic missile.

[@oboro115]

@@CriscCiaddu Thank you your comment. I understand why even during war, main purpose of OPV is monitoring the sea territory of own coastal areas. OPV does not appear the battle field. So the operation of centralized deployment will be efficient and prioritize. Countries that has naval battle experiences in world war 2 had knowledge that important facilities distributed deployment have been done to damage control.

As partners we share security and defendive roles while escorting their carriers here in Europe and now we have shared such capabilities with them kn order to minimize the risks in a real situation.

The funny thing is that this class of ship has more power and displacement than a traditional frigate, in fact when fully equipped it has the offensive power of a destroyer, including the capacity for coastal bombardment, but the Navy had to call it a "Patrol Vessel" because the pacifists in parliament would have been angry if Italy had too many front line ships in its fleet.

I think it is because it is a Patrol ships or Light duty "Frigate" as opposed to say a front line vessel like the Arliegh Burkes or other Destroyers.

[@met71metaldetector55]

Le PPA sono progettate per svariati ruoli e contesti , sono classificate PPA (pattugliatori polivalenti d'altura) ma in caso di conflitto sono predisposte le light e + a diventare full , vi ricordo che le 2 full avranno il ruolo di fregate di prima linea , il progetto iniziale erano previsti 16 PPA poi ridotte a 7 unita + 3 optional

[@AlFreeman-xy4jy]

News just out: two PPAs under construction and ready to be launched will be ceded to Indonesia. I read on a site (I think Indonesian) that Indonesia has asked the Italian government to hand over at least two PPAs to it immediately, without having to wait years for construction. It seems that Italy has agreed, since the situation in the South China Sea is deteriorating.

Looks very clever made

[@Alsayid]

That's a nice looking ship. So, I take it the 25mm gun is for defense against little speedboat type vessels that come in close and swarm? Are there also .50 cal machine mounts for this purpose, like what older frigates had?

Yes

if you go back in time you will see what we were really able to do...and i'm not referring only to warships and battleships... michelangelo and raphael? or before, green count, red count, white hand count... the rex, one above all. the Italian ships were the most beautiful ships in the world. then if we want to go on warships ... well ... battleship regia Roma and its Littorio class, some of the most beautiful floating masterpieces ever created in the history of the navy.

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

Vero... però va anche detto che la Littorio riusci ad ingaggiare battaglia una sola volta e fu disastrosa, sparò se non ricordo male 29 colpi mancandone 27... mentre la Roma non prese mai il mare e fu affondata in porto a Civitavecchia da aerosiluranti Inglesi...

[@flaviosonetti515]

@@ClaudeMagicbox no, la Roma è stata affondata dai tedeschi il 9 settembre che l'hanno bombardata con le fritz-x , le prime bombe teleguidate della storia, il mare l'ha preso eccome, tant'è che quando è affondata non era a civitavecchia ma lungo le coste della sardegna (golfo dell'asinara) mentre si stava dirigendo verso le coste dell'algeria, poichè la maddalena era stata appena occupata dai tedeschi ,e quindi trovò la sua tragica fine quel giorno, portandosi con se quasi 1400 uomini.

​@@ClaudeMagicbox vero, ma lo fece ad una distanza di 32 km. Nessuna nave riusciva ad ingaggiare a tale distanza.

[@lucaiervasi8515]

@@ClaudeMagicbox soltanto nella battaglia di capomatapan, la vittorio veneto sparò 75 colpi, senza colpire nulla e nel corso della guerra spararono centinaia di colpi, andando a segno poche volte e nella maggiorparte delle volte, scheggie dei proietti da 381 colpivano le navi, come nel caso dell'incrociatore da battaglia HMS Kingston, colpito e gravemente danneggiato, oppure l'incrociatore HMS Euryalus e HMS Havock. in cannoni furono progettati sulle specifiche richieste della regia marina, questi dovevano avere una volocità elevatissima alla volata per raggiungere le distanze richieste. risultato? nessuna corazzata riuscì a sparare più lontano della classe littorio e la velocità alla volata le consentiva di sparare bombe da 900kg, che riuscivano a penetrare 550mm di corazza a 25km, lo stesso potere perforante dei pezzi da 406mm americani, nemmeno la corazzata yamato sarebbe riuscita a resistere a una bordata dei 381/50 a quella distanza. per contro, l'enorme velocità del proietto alla volata, generava una spaventosa dispersione delle salve. sostanzialmente, sopra i 25km non prendevi un cazzo nemmeno se sparavi 1000 colpi. la corazzata classe littorio fù cmq all'avanguardia e introdusse soluzioni tecnologiche mai viste prima. la corazzata roma non fù affondata in porto e non furono gli inglesi a farlo. fù affondata in mare aperto dai tedeschi, che per affondarla utilizzarono una nuova arma, la sd 1400 o Fritz-X, la prima bomba radioguidata della storia.

[@CheapSushi]

Do you think more ships will eventually have bridges/cockpits like this?

[@lucaiervasi8515]

it seems that all future Italian units will have this configuration. Leonardo has invested a lot of resources in the development of new systems of the ppa class. these ships will act as an active laboratory for refining and improving this new configuration.

[@lucianorosarelli-xr5lr]

with this configuration we need less personal than a light figade( ppa is more or less a lite frigade for tons ) and has more space to impove firepower or asw capability. fremm /costellation its more or less the same tonns but it cost more than buble in milions dollars witout asw army like mu90 torpedo not included in desing

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Thanks much to you and the Commadner. She is well armed and sensored and has many interesting ideas. Certainly more than adequate for coastal patrol, but I'd question the survivability of the relatively open bridge and CIC in full combat.

[@lucaiervasi8515]

these units introduce a new system called PLOC (combat operational bridge) in the FULL variant, these ships become front line combat ships. today, all ships have the command bridge and the COP or CIC. in war mode, the unit is piloted from the command bridge, while all weapon systems are managed by the CIC, during combat, these two areas must constantly communicate with each other and neither can replace the other. on PPA, in war mode, part of the crew is migrated from the CIC to the command bridge, this transforms into PLOC and all weapons systems are managed from the bridge, together with the rest of the ship, including the engine room, which is managed by the two pilots sitting in the cockpit. therefore, everything is operated by the PLOC in a single point, this reduces latency and increases the efficiency of the entire system. another innovation introduced by PPA is the absence of the devices in the CIC. on a ship today, each CIC operator has his own station and cannot change it, while on PPA, the operator can use any station he wants, just enter his credentials and the station transforms into the one for which the operator and specialized, furthermore, all the servers and management systems are not in the CIC, but are positioned in another deck of the ship, in the CIC, there are only replicas of the systems. therefore, both the bridge and the CIC are armoured, but if these were hit, they would not destroy the ship's core, because this is positioned elsewhere. Furthermore, in the event of destruction in the PLOC and the CIC, the unit can be managed by the PLOP (platform operations bridge) located in the belly of the ship.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@lucaiervasi8515 Grazie! Sounds like great thought has been given to survivability and operability. I'm still not sure I agree with the decisions, but I appreciate the new thinking. A backup war/combat bridge is a great idea, as are generic combat stations. This demonstrates a good understanding of the digital age.

[@lucaiervasi8515]

in reality the PLOP is not a reserve CIC, the snow is also designed to provide humanitarian aid. amidships there is the modular section, at this point various types of modules can be installed, such as hospital modules, by installing them a mini hospital on board is created with additional beds and equipment for complex operations. other modules are for example the command and control, which allows the ship to become a management platform for the operations of a naval team, or the modules for special forces, these are installed in the case of missions that require the presence of special forces coalition etc. there are also modules for adding weapon systems. the PLOP, in addition to its ordinary tasks, can manage the added modules, the ship has the ability to intervene immediately in areas where natural disasters occur and can provide electricity and drinking water to a population of 15,000 people. all these things are managed by PLOP. but unlike the other units present in the world today, no PPA system is physically connected to the stations, for example, on the command bridge there is also the classic helmsman, positioned in the classic rearward point. the helmsman gets up from the front pilot's seat, goes to the wheelhouse, enters his credentials and the guidance of the unit passes to the classic wheelhouse. in a war zone, if a ship is hit at any point, it can no longer continue the fight and must retreat to the second or third line of battle. if in extreme cases, the ship is hit and both the bridge and the CIC are destroyed, the PLOP takes command of the ship to retreat, not to continue the fight, but since unlike the other units, the ship's brain is not positioned in the CIC, the ship can still defend itself, because all systems remain operational and can be migrated to the PLOP. this station is not managed by a lieutenant of a frigate or vessel, as usually happens, but is commanded by a corvette captain. this is because in the event of the disaster mentioned above, it is assumed that the entire general staff of the ship is dead present in those points, therefore the entire command hierarchy. this way, the unit will still have a working command line. the electronic system of this class of ships is so complex that 4 people, 2 sitting in the pilot's seat, one sitting in the position on the right (the one that in the video, at minute 2.35 can be glimpsed hidden by a cloth with the writing Leonardo) and the in the other position on the left, they would be able to govern the entire unit, without the help of anyone else. weapon system included.

Si era inizialmente previste 16 unità , ma poi nel nuovo programma navale ne fanno 7 in tre versioni 2 light 3 light+ 2 full (fregate di prima linea ) poi nel programma c'era un optional per altre 3 unità ma per adesso si faranno solo 7 , anche perché è subentrato il programma Epc (european Patrol corvette ). Da 8 unità che si sta iniziando la costruzione
