Italian frigate Euro (F 575)

Euro (F 575) is the sixth ship of the Maestrale-class frigate of the Italian Navy.

Development

The Maestrale-class frigates were primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), however the ships are highly flexible so they are also capable of anti-air and anti-surface operations. Ships of this class have been widely used in various international missions, either under NATO or UN flag, and during normal operations of the Italian Navy.

The first of these ships entered in service in early 1982. The rest of the fleet was launched over the next three years. The ships of the Maestrale class will be replaced by the Bergamini class.[3][4]

Construction and career

She was laid down on 15 April 1981 and launched on 25 March 1983 by Fincantieri shipyards. Commissioned on 7 April 1984 with the hull number F 575. She was decommissioned on 2 October 2019.
