Dattilo-class offshore patrol vessel explained

The Dattilo class of offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) consists of two vessels ordered for the Italian Coast Guard.[1]
The main mission of the OPVs is to safeguard national interests through patrolling activities and carry out anti-pollution and rescue services. The aft area is often fitted with a flight deck for the take-off and landing operations of one medium-sized helicopter. Typical features of such vessels are the extensive range as well as sea-keeping and manoeuvrability performances, which make them highly flexible from the operational point of view.
