The Future of Aircraft Carriers with Drones

The historic Italian Navy aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi will be handed over to Indonesia for $450 million, bringing an end to four decades of service to the national fleet. The Garibaldi, which served as the flagship of the Italian Navy from 1987 to 2011, has a rich history and unique characteristics that have made it a significant vessel. Constructed in the 1980s, the Garibaldi played a crucial role in various naval operations and missions during its tenure with the Italian Navy. The carrier has a displacement of around 10,000 tons and can accommodate a mix of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, enhancing its versatility in combat situations.
