    Emilio Bianchi” Launched

    THE TENTH MULTIPURPOSE FRIGATE “EMILIO BIANCHI” LAUNCHED It is the last unit of the Italo-French FREMM program Trieste, January 25, 2020 – The launching ceremony of the “Emilio Bianchi” frigate, the tenth and last FREMM vessel – Multi Mission European Frigates, took place today at the integrated shipyard of Riva Trigoso (Genoa) in the presence of the Italian Minister of Defence, Lorenzo Guerini. The 10 vessels have been commissioned to Fincantieri by the Italian Navy within the framework of an Italo-French cooperation program under the coordination of OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur l’Armement, the international organization for cooperation on arms). Godmother of the ceremony was Mrs. Maria Elisabetta Bianchi, first daughter of Emilio Bianchi, Golden Medal for Military Value. For Fincantieri the President Giampiero Massolo welcome, on behalf of the Chief of Defence, General Enzo Vecciarelli, the Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the Governor of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti, in addition to a number of authorities. After the launching, fitting activities will continue in the integrated naval shipyard of Muggiano (La Spezia), with delivery scheduled in 2021. The “Emilio Bianchi” vessel, like the other units, will feature a high degree of flexibility, capable of operating in all tactical situations. 144 metres long with a beam of 19.7 metres, the ship will have a displacement at full load of approximately 6,700 tonnes. The vessel will have a maximum speed of over 27 knots and will have a maximum accommodation capacity for a 200-person crew. The FREMM program, representing the European and Italian defence state of the art, stems from the renewal need of the Italian Navy line “Lupo” (already removed) and “Maestrale” (some of them already decommissioned, the remaining close to the attainment of operational limit) class frigates, both built by Fincantieri in the 1970s.

    MARINE NEWS - Continued from Page 3 On June 20, the Shell Canada fuel dock on the St. Clair River at Corunna was struck by the C. S.L. bulker SPRUCEGLEN and damage was done to the north end of the dock. Transport Canada investigated the incident but declined to lay any charges, saying that fog had been a fac­ tor in the incident. Damage was not as severe as back in November of 2006 when the wharf was struck by JOHN G. MUNSON. Fincantieri, an Italian shipbuilder, has agreed to purchase the Manitowoc Marine Group (which includes Marinette Marine Corporation and Bay Shipbuilding Company) from The Manito­ woc Company for some $120 million, with the deal to close at the end of the year. Fincan­ tieri is looking to invest in the modernization of both Lake Michigan shipyards. Marinette Marine has just completed its first Littoral Combat Ship, U. S. S. FREEDOM, which left the yard on July 28 for trials. During May, the Erie Shipbuilding Company began construction of a 135-foot tug which will be paired with a 740-foot barge whose building commences this summer. The pair will be comple­ ted late in 2009 and will operate in lake bulk trades. It is assumed that the barge will be similar to the similar-sized GREAT LAKES TRADER, which was built in Mississippi in 2000 for the VanEnkevort interests. The exact name of the company that will own the articulated tug- barge combination has not yet been revealed. The first vessel to be owned by Great Lakes Feeder Lines ULC, of Calgary, Alberta, is the 75.

Viewed from the perspective of several hundred years of history, the Arctic character and Northernness have never been recorded in the development plans or government programmes for the area that later became known as Finland in as much detail as they were in Finland’s Arctic Strategy published in 2010.

Wright, USN Reprint of paper presented at Spring Meeting of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Old Point Comfort, Virginia, June 2-3 1958 January 1959 Report 1292 New Research Resources at the David Taylor Model Basin By Capt. E. A. Wright, USN,'Member This paper describes briefly many of the new laboratory facilities and instruments in the field of ship model research.A planar-motion mechanism now provides hydrodynamic coefficients for the differential equations of motion, a heaving tow- point simulates ship pitching for bodies towed over the stern, a boundary-layer research tunnel reveals the effects of pressure gradients, differential transformers permit miniaturized transducers and remote digital recording, a pneumatic wave- maker generates a programmed frequency spectrum, a large transonic tunnel provides high Reynolds numbers in air, a submarine test tank extends the scope of structural research, a flutter dynamometer explores the phenomenon on control surfaces in water, a large variable-pressure water tunnel provides for testing con- tra-rotating propellers, and seakeeping and rotating-arm basins add new dimen- sions to research in naval architecture at the David Taylor Model Basin.The gamut in size runs from a 6-knot towing carriage for a 57-ft model basin to a 60-knot towing carriage for a 2968-ft basin, and from a transient-thrust dynamometer that serves as the strut barrel of a ship model to a 40,000-lb vibration generator that excites full-scale ship structures.Developments like these suggest to the author several trends in ship research.
