Type 1075 Enrico Toti Class
|
S505 Attilio Bagnolini S513 Enrico Dandalo S506 Enrico Toti S514 Lazzaro Mocenigo |
The Totis were Italys first postwar submarines and were intended for coastal work. They are comparable with the German Type 205s. Although small, they were well equipped with modern sensors. |
Type 1081 Nazario Sauro Class
|
S519 Carlo Fecia Di Cossato S521 Guglielmo Marconi S520 Leonardo Da Vinci S518 Nazario Sauro |
The Sauros were a result of a requirement for a much larger boat than the Totis, with
long range and habitability as requirements. The first 2 were ordered in 1967, but
financial problems led to their cancellation, and they were reordered in 1972.
The second pair were ordered in 1976, and cnstruction was delayed due to defective batteries, which were replaced by Swedish made units. |

|
S523 Giuliano Prini S522 Salvatore Pelosi |
The Pelosis are enlarged Sauros that are capable of firing SubHarpoon. |
Primo Longobardo Class
|
S525 Gianfranco Gazzana Priaroggia S524 Primo Longobardo |
