Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico, usually shortened to CRDA and meaning United Shipbuilders of the Adriatic, was an Italian shipbuilding and marine engineering company formed in 1930 when the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino of Trieste merged with the Cantiere Navale Triestino of Monfalcone. Between the wars it built light and heavy cruisers for the Regia Marina and some 27 submarines, and in 1932 it delivered the ocean liner Conte di Savoia, the first major liner fitted with gyroscopic stabilizers. At its Trieste yard it built the two Littorio-class battleships Vittorio Veneto and Roma for the Italian navy during the Second World War. After the war the company went on to build several more commercial liners in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as a few naval vessels, and for the 1960 Olympic regattas it produced 55 Finn dinghies. CRDA's yards passed to the Fincantieri group, which bought the company in 1984, and the shipyard is still owned by Fincantieri today.
