San Giorgio class amphibious transport dock were built by Fincantieri for the
Marina Militare Italiana. These ships can lift a battalion of troops, and up
to 36 armoured vehicles. The stern floodable dock can accommodate three
landing craft and the flight deck has three landing spots. San Giusto has a
full load displacement 300t greater than the other ships in the class. San
Giusto is normally employed as a training ship. The ships are based at the
Brindisi naval base. In July 2011 the Algerian Navy
placed an order with Fincantieri for an improved version of the San Giorgio
class amphibious transport ships, classified as Bâtiment de Débarquement et
de Soutien Logistique (BDSL). On 8 January 2014 the BDSL Kalaat Béni-Abbès
was launched. The vessel was fitted with DCNS Sylver VLS for Aster 15 and
Aster 30 SAM behind the island superstructure, one OTO Melara 76/62 Super
Rapid gun at the bow and with two 25/80 remote machine guns. |
