An Oceanic Tug/Repair ship. The Meditterenean is becoming increasingly crowded with larger and larger ships (merchant as well as naval units). The current largest tugs are approx 500tons shown here. This vessel(s) is considerably larger with more power. This makes it more suitable for towing larger vessels. In its secondary role, it'll serve as a repair ship, having materials onboard for effecting temporary repairs.

The design itself is heavily built with extensive subdivision inboard and thicker than usual outer hull plates (in addition to fenders). There are extensive accomodations onboard in case crew need to be taken off.

Machinery includes 2x2000hp marine diesels from the Gabbiano class of escorts. In addition to this are 2x5000hp Fiat-Guidoni diesels with clutches that can be engaged to the propellor shafts to transmit additional power if needed.
