Incoming “Why would Italy even need a carrier” from people who dont know Italy has had large ships outside the mediterranean since decades.
What size of carrier – something akin to *Charles de Gaulle* or larger/smaller?
What fuel enrichment – ~7-something percent (like in AREVA K15 on *Charles de Gaulle*) or higher?
What launch equipment – catapult or slope? If catapult – steam or electromagnetic?
Theres a lot of questions about it, but it might hold quite a nice promise.
But can they afford it?
They should get one.
Germany too. They should also get a proper navy.
OR! Better yet, all of Europe should unite and start building standardized ships. Use economy of scale. Build a proper navy. It will be needed.
they mean a drone carrier. not an full blown aircraft carrier. as for the nuclear it’s a project they have to make small nuclear reactors project minerva to power navy vessels.
I mean. They won’t ever in a billion years buy the PANG. But if they want a nuclear carrier, they really should.
They won’t though and another European country will spend an obnoxious sum of money on developing and building a boutique single ship class of giant artisinal nuclear carrier.
That is if they go forward with this idea, which seems a bit iffy tbh.
If Italy don’t do it, Germany most certainly should.
They should start mass producing submarine drones loaded with torpedoes, anti ship missiles, and long-range missiles
BS. It’s an attempt from the right wing government to throw at the wall every single “nuclear industrialisation” idea they can come up with. It’s Meloni’s lame Italian version of the [atomic age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Age). None of the government’s “nuclear plans” will actually happen, the nuclear industry in Italy is non-existent contrary to what they want people to think.
Suffice to say that recent-ish plans for Italy to leverage military, industrial and strategic capabilities that are actually very much more real, its proficiency and assets in the space sector, never amounted to anything either. There were plans for Italy to become a rapid-response military satellite launching power, with ideas to have fully autonomous launch capabilities from the sea, from the air and from land, to have an Italian spaceport and to be able to deploy modular and configurable small satellites for a variety of tasks in a matter of hours. Did drones eat the lunch of these plans? Maybe, maybe not, in the end absolutely nothing came out of them.
Why? They don’t need to project any power beyond the Mediterranean and they’re sitting there right in the middle of it.
Yeah…bullshit. I don’t believe that for a single heartbeat
