Carrier in mini format

The San Giorgio class has enriched the Italian navy for three decades. Replacements are not to be procured until the 1930s. In addition to the two aircraft carriers Giuseppe Garibaldi and Cavour, the Italian Navy operates three smaller amphibious units of the San Giorgio class, which can be deployed in a variety of ways. Two ships - the San Giorgio and the San Marco - were put into service with the Marina Militare in 1988/89. A third ship with a slightly modified design named San Giusto followed in 1994.

The downfall of the Westerners

You read the headline "4-day week in the navy!" This causes confusion. Our minister, Boris Pistorius, our inspector general, General Carsten Breuer, and our naval inspector, Vice Admiral Jan Christian Kaack, mention it again and again: "Just do it!" And they also say that the existing regulations and directives can be stretched to the limit - as long as no one is disadvantaged and operational readiness is not jeopardised.
