:''For other ships of this name, see Italian ship Giuseppe Garibaldi'' ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' is an Italian aircraft carrier, the first through deck aviation ship ever built for the Italian Navy, and the first Italian ship built to operate fixed-wing aircraft. It is equipped with short take-off and vertical landing aircraft (STOVL) aircraft and helicopters. ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' was involved in combat air operations off Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Libya. ==Design== She is the fourth ship of the Italian Navy to be named after the 19th century Italian General Giuseppe Garibaldi. All four ships, including the missile cruiser, together with an image of Garibaldi, are depicted in the crest. Built by Fincantieri (Italcantieri) at the Monfalcone shipyards on the Gulf of Trieste, she was laid down on 26 March 1981,〔 launched on 11 June 1983, and commissioned on 30 September 1985. ''Garibaldi'' is classed as an anti-submarine warfare carrier (ASW), and is based in Taranto. The ship is powered by four Fiat COGAG gas turbines built under license from GE, offering a sustained power of 81,000 hp (60 MW). Driving two shafts the ship has a maximum speed of and can travel for at around . The ship was equipped with four Otomat Mk2 long range surface-to-surface missile system installed at the stern of the ship (removed in 2003 to improve the flight deck and satellite communications) and two ILAS three triple tube torpedo launchers. Defences are provided by two eight-cell SAM launchers firing the SARH ''Aspide'' missile, additional defences are offered by three Oto Melara Twin 40L70 DARDO CIWS. The ship also has many countermeasures include two SCLAR twenty-barrel launchers for chaff, decoy, flares, or jammers, the SLQ-25 Nixie and SLAT anti-torpedo systems and ECM systems. Her air-arm consists of a maximum sixteen AV-8B Harrier IIs and 2 search and rescue helicopter, or eighteen Agusta helicopters or a mix of helicopters and fighters. The flight-deck is the characteristic off-axis design with 4 degrees ski-jump for STOL aircraft, it is long and wide. A 1937 law gave control of all national fixed-wing air assets to the Italian Air Force and only helicopters were permitted to the navy, therefore at the time of her launch she did not receive her Harriers, and she was classed as ''Incrociatore portaeromobili'' (Italian for ''Aircraft carrying cruiser''). Until 1988 only Italian helicopters landed on her deck, as well as Royal Navy Sea Harriers during NATO joint maneuvers. This ban on Italian naval fixed-wing aircraft was lifted in 1989, and the Italian Navy received fixed-wing Harrier II fighters to fly from the ''Giuseppe Garibaldi''. In 2009 ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' was joined as the flagship of the Italian navy by the new and larger carrier . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi (C 551)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
