San Giorgio

The San Giorgio class are amphibious transport docks (LPD) built by Fincantieri for the Qatari, Algerian, and Italian navies. These ships can carry a battalion of troops, and up to 36 armoured vehicles. The stern floodable dock can accommodate three landing craft. The ships are based at the Brindisi naval base on the Adriatic coast. San Giorgio and San Marco have been modified with longer full-length flight decks with four landing spots. San Giusto, the third vessel, has not been modified since construction, however, it featured an improved design, and is normally employed as a training ship.
