Yesterday, on the occasion of the 162nd anniversary of Navy Day, the Vespucci training ship, the Garibaldi helicopter carrier, the new generation patrol vessel Thaon di Revel, the Alpino frigate, the Scirè submarine and the Italy, the Naval Aviation aircraft were seen in two demonstration activities with the COMSUBIN Raiders and the San Marco Marina Brigade.
"Our Navy" said Undersecretary Perego of Cremnago at the end of the day of celebration "is the most versatile armed force, it operates in every domain trying to acquire technological sovereignty in the most persuasive ones, the underwater and cyber ones which can also intertwine in threats below sea level that can attack our vital connections and energy supplies”.
“They are special men and women” continues Perego “because they are often far from their loved ones and work without interruption seven days a week, 365 days a year, for the security and defense of our country. Yesterday evening's intervention off the coast of Naples is proof of this, minimum notice, maximum results with trained professionals who can be anywhere at any time. The Navy in full joint synergy with the other armed forces underlines with its work how important it is to invest in defense and security especially in the maritime domain that intersects migratory flows, sea safety and exploitation of mineral resources and environmental protection ”.
“Following the footsteps of Premuda's enterprise” concluded the Undersecretary “and of countless missions completed over the years, the “great silent one”, as she was called, continues to work in silence for the good of the country. To all the sailors, in service and not, to their families, to the Chief of Staff of the Navy Admiral Enrico Credendino, on their day of celebration I offer my best wishes with the immense pride of being part of their crew".
