On
the 5th of December, the Italian First of Class Carlo BERGAMINI Frigate
shot 54 cannon rounds in the waters of La Spezia Gulf.
Upon several firing sessions and qualification tests, performed at the
Italian Naval Experimentation and Support Centre premises, for the first
time the 127/64 Lightweight Gun System had been employed on board of
a ship. |

The
outstanding results, achieved with these last tests and mainly aimed
at assessing the structural robustness of the ship's superstructures,
have also confirmed the high level of maturity of the Combat System,
whose Functional Integration has recently been completed in Taranto
Naval Base. |
