This will be an approx. $555 million project.
FMM is currently working on the detailed design phase of building the first-in-class USS Constellation. Construction is planned to start at the end of 2021. The frigate expected to be delivered in 2026.
A contract for the first-in-class Constellation frigate was awarded to FMM in 2020, with the options for further nine ships, as well as post-delivery availability support and crew training. A cumulative value for Fincantieri amounting to 5.5 billion dollars.
