Durand de la Penne-Class: Italy’s Naval Legacy Faces Retirement in 2025

The Durand de la Penne-class destroyers, long-serving guardians of the Italian Navy, are set to retire in 2025 after over three decades of distinguished service. Named after the WWII naval hero Luigi Durand de la Penne, these formidable warships have been a cornerstone of Italy’s maritime defense, participating in NATO operations, international missions, and safeguarding national waters.

Equipped with advanced anti-air, anti-submarine, and anti-ship capabilities, these destroyers have played a vital role in Mediterranean security. But as the Italian Navy modernizes with new DDX-class destroyers, the era of the Durand de la Penne-class comes to an end.

Join us as we explore their history, missions, and legacy—honoring the ships and crews that upheld Italy’s naval prestige for generations.
