- Notes:The Trieste is a multi-purpose landing helicopter dock (LHD) of the Italian Navy. The ship replaces the aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi and is the largest vessel in the Italian fleet. It features two distinct islands, the first (at the bow) for navigation and the second (at the stern) for the management and control of flight operations. This configuration serves a triple purpose, providing a greater visual range, more space on the flight deck, and a more efficient management of various activities.
