The Italian Navy has been struggling to keep up with its many missions abroad due to a lack of sufficent warships and manpower.The Italian Ministry of Defense has thus called for the national shipbuilding industry to immediately increase production in order to give the Navy the required number of hulls.Fincantieri, Italy's state-owned shipyards and Europe's largest shipbuilder, thus released a new industrial plan for the next five years that sees the doubling of warship construction and a massive reduction in the production times of the hulls.The most immediate and important consequence of this will be the shortening of the production time of the FREMM frigate, the main surface combatant of the Italian Navy. The FREMM's construction, which currently takes more than four years, will immediately be reduced to 32 months this year, and then further shortened to just 18 months.In order to achieve this increase in production, Fincantieri has started the expansion and the upgrade of three of its shipyards (Riva Trigoso, La Spezia and Castellamare di Stabia). Will focus the Italian yards on military construction diverting the civilian one to their other facilities across the world (so, for example, the parts for cruise ships previously made in Castellamare will now be made in Romania and the specialised vessels made in Romania will now be produced in Vietnam, etc). Will increase its workforce and its robotic equipment, thus enableing the doubling of the workshifts and a 24 hour construction cycle.A couple of sources, they are in italian but you can translate them with google if needed:https://www.adriaports.com/it/cantieri/fincantieri-raddoppia-la-difesa-e-accelera-sullunderwater/https://www.borsaitaliana.it/borsa/notizie/radiocor/finanza/dettaglio/fincantieri-folgiero-fremm-in-32-mesi-gia--possibile-con-azioni-su-produttivita--nRC_12022026_1518_472153864.html
