The Italian Carrier Cavour is designed to combine fixed wing V/STOL and helicopter air operations, command and control operations and the transport of military or civil personnel together with heavy vehicles such Ariete Tanks. The 134 metre, 2,800 m2 hangar space can be doubled in order to meet the capable volume of holding up to 24 main battle tanks or many more lighter vehicles (50 Dardo IFV, 100+ Iveco LMV), and is fitted aft with access ramps rated to 70 tons, as well as two elevators rated up to 30 tons for aircraft. Cavour can also operate as Landing Platform Helicopter (LPH), accommodating heavy transport helicopters (EH 101 ASH) and 325 marines. Enjoy.
