Thaon di Revel-class patrol vessel

The Thaon di Revel class, known as the PPA for Pattugliatore Polivalente d'Altura or multipurpose offshore patrol vessel, is a class of frigate-sized warships built by Fincantieri for the Italian Navy. It is meant to replace four Soldati-class light patrol frigates and eight Minerva-class corvettes between 2021 and 2035. The design is highly modular and automated and is delivered in three configurations, Light, Light plus and Full, which differ in sensors and armament: the Full version adds Aster missile launchers, anti-ship missiles, torpedo launchers and a towed sonar. In 2024 Indonesia signed a contract with Fincantieri for two of the ships under construction for Italy, and Italy ordered replacements in 2025. The Italian Navy also contracted to bring all ships of the class up to the Full configuration.
