Brothers in arms: Why is Italy building its warships in the US?

By: Andrea Barolini

Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has secured a revised $3 billion contract with the US Navy, including approximately $1 billion in compensation, after the original 2020 agreement for 10 frigates was scaled back to just two vessels. 

The rescheduling, announced on 26 November, came ahead of Monday's EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting of defence ministers in Brussels, where military support for Ukraine and defence readiness will be discussed.
