Collaboration CMRE and Italian Navy Accademy 042013 EN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION CENTRE FOR MARITIME RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTATION Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10 April 2013 Submarine Officers from the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno Visit the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation The long-standing collaboration between the two establishments leads to a series of lectures on cutting-edge scientific innovation in the field of antisubmarine warfare (ASW). The Italian Navy CSSN (Naval Support and Experimentation Centre) is cooperating in the project. A group of student officers from the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno visited the Italian Navy San Bartolomeo military compound where the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) is located. The focus of today’s visit was to deepen practical knowledge in the most recent cutting-edge scientific innovations in the maritime domain. Undergraduate students in the Maritime and Naval Sciences degree course, attending the Naval Academy’s technical lectures on anti-submarine warfare and torpedoes (Abilitazione AST) and the graduate officers attending the Naval Academy’s specialization course on submarines (SMG), met scientists from CMRE and visited the research centre’s engineering laboratories. The agenda focused on advanced projects in Autonomous Naval Mine Countermeasures, Environmental Knowledge and Operational Effectiveness, and Maritime Security and Harbour Protection. The group, led by two teaching officers, also visited the Naval Support and Experimentation Centre (CSSN) of the Italian Navy, which hosts CMRE in the same military compound, to meet their experts on battle systems for anti-submarine warfare (2° Reparto Sistema di Combattimento - 5a Divisione “Lotta sotto la Su- perficie”). The initiative is part of a broader educational project built on the successful long-time collaboration between CMRE and Italian Naval Academy in Livorno. This year’s edition will also include a set of lectures at the Naval Academy on: operations research (asset path planning, decision support, sonar performance modelling), the use of underwater robotic vehicles in anti-submarine warfare, the CMRE multi-static tactical planning aid software and communications and networks in the maritime environment. “Working with the Naval Academy is extremely useful and inspiring” - says Robert Been, CMRE scientist in charge for the initiative – “This collaboration represents an opportunity for the CMRE scientists to interact with the young professionals who will be the ones operating with ASW technologies in the next future”. About CMRE. The STO-CMRE (Science and Technology Organization – Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation) is located in La Spezia, Italy. Formerly NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC), the Centre focuses on research, innovation and technology in areas such as defence of maritime forces and installations against terrorism and piracy, secure networks, development of the common operational picture, the maritime component of expeditionary operations, mine countermeasures systems, non-lethal protection for ports and harbours, anti-submarine warfare and marine mammal risk mitigation. CMRE operates two ships, NATO Research Vessel Alliance, a 93-meter 3,180-ton open -ocean research vessel, and Coastal Research Vessel Leonardo, a smaller ship designed for coastal operations. In addition to its laboratories the Centre is equipped with a fleet of autonomous underwater and surface vehicles and a world-class inventory of seagoing sensors.

  • Italian Navy: the Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci Will Visit
    ITALIAN NAVY: THE TRAINING SHIP AMERIGO VESPUCCI WILL VISIT NEW YORK FROM 26th TO 31th JULY New York is the 8th port of call of the Training Campaign 2017 for the Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci Follow the #MarinaMilitare live on Twitter: @ItalianNavy #ProfessionistiDelMare #ilFuturoèilMare From the 26th to the 31st July 2017, the Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci will be in New York in the United States, the eighth port of call of the Training Campaign 2017. The Training Campaign on board the Amerigo Vespucci represents a key element in the cadet professional development, passing on the Italian Navy’s core values of love for the sea, ethics, loyalty and honor. On the 19th of April the ‘most beautiful ship in the world’ set sail from the Italian Naval Base in La Spezia, to start the Training Campaign 2017 and visited so far two ports in Portugal (Sines and Funchal), then, after 20 days of navigation across the Atlantic ocean, Hamilton, in the Bermuda islands, and three ports of call in Canada: Halifax, Montreal and Quebec City. New York is the second port of call in the U.S.A., after Boston. During a port visit in Montreal (Canada) the 79 on-term volunteers (VFP4) of the 24th Course which had been on board since the unmooring from La Spezia, were replaced by the 125 Italian Naval Academy of Livorno (including 18 foreign cadets). Navy cadets learn the basics of seamanship, they put into practice what has been studied so far in the books by getting familiar with the marine equipment, climbing up the masts, and using the sextant to calculate the position of the ship with the stars.

    UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Sede Amministrativa: Università degli Studi di Padova Dipartimento di Storia SCUOLA DI DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN : Scienze Storiche INDIRIZZO: Storia CICLO XXI TITOLO TESI “Quando il timore vince l’abilità” Formazione e professionalità dell’ufficialità della Marina Militare italiana nell’età giolittiana. 1895-1910 Direttore della Scuola : Ch.ma Prof.ssa Maria Cristina La Rocca Supervisore : Ch.mo Prof. Pietro Del Negro Supervisore : Ch.mo Prof. Enrico Francia Dottorando : Antonio Burrasca 1 Presentazione Nei quindici anni compresi tra la fine del XIX secolo e l’inizio del XX la formazione degli ufficiali della Regia Marina Italiana venne profondamente modificata, in seguito all’azione legislativa del ministro Costantino Enrico Morin. A seguito dell’applicazione dei Regi Decreti 28 gennaio 1894 n. 33, “Nuovo Ordinamento della Regia Accademia Navale” e Regio Decreto 17 dicembre 1896 n. 589, “Riordinamento dell’accademia navale”, conosciuti come “Riforma Morin”, il mondo culturale italiano di carattere navale conobbe una spaccatura e vide aprirsi un lungo scontro tra i fautori e gli oppositori della riforma. Il nocciolo della questione venne individuato nell’eccessivo spostamento dell’asse formativo verso le discipline scientifiche in generale e matematiche in particolare. Gli oppositori obiettarono che la formazione matematica non fosse utile alla creazione di comandanti ed ammiragli e lamentarono un profondo e pericoloso disinteresse verso il lato umano ed emotivo della professione di ufficiale. Nel contempo in campo civile le correzioni del sistema educativo spinsero gli istituti tecnici – tra cui figuravano anche i nautici – verso una sempre maggiore presenza delle materie umanistiche, come la storia e la letteratura, nei curricola così da rafforzare la preparazione “umana” e “liberale” degli studenti.
