Italy has added a new high-end research capability to its naval fleet with the launch of the hydro-oceanographic vessel Quirinale. Purpose-built for scientific and monitoring missions, the ship combines advanced sensor suites, autonomous vehicle integration, and precision positioning systems to support complex maritime research tasks. Designed with sustainability in mind, the vessel incorporates low-impact materials and efficient propulsion solutions. The program highlights Fincantieri’s expanding role in delivering technologically sophisticated naval platforms that support both military and scientific missions while reinforcing Italy’s maritime situational awareness.
