The San Giorgio class are amphibious transport docks (LPD) built by
Fincantieri for the Italian Navy. These ships can carry a battalion
of troops, and up to 36 armored vehicles. The stern floodable dock
can accommodate three landing craft. The ships are based at the
Brindisi naval base. San Giorgio and San Marco have been modified with longer full-length flight decks with four landing spots. |
