The shipyard closed on 31 December 1990. History Ships built Some of the vessels built at this shipyard are listed below.

Franco Tosi & C
Franco Tosi (formerly known as ''Franco Tosi & C.'', now called ''Franco Tosi Meccanica'') is an Italian engineering business currently concentrated on the production of turbines, boilers, heat exchangers and pumps. It is located in Legnano near Milan. The firm was created during the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century by the Italian engineer Franco Tosi (1858 – 1898). History and products ''Franco Tosi'' grew out of an engineering business called, originally, ''Cantoni Krumm & C.'', which Tosi himself joined as Technical Director in 1876. The firm had originated a couple of years earlier (1874) as a producer, primarily, of textile machinery, but under Tosi's leadership it rapidly reinvented itself as a producer of steam engines, which Tosi had developed for use as the power source for industrial looms. These formed the basis for the company's rapid growth in the closing decades of the nineteenth century. Tosi soon became a shareholder, and in 1881 the company also t ...

Liuzzi-class Submarine
The ''Liuzzi'' class was a ship class, class of four submarines built by Tosi in Taranto for the Royal Italian Navy (). The submarines were built in 1939 and began their Second World War service in the Mediterranean Sea, where ''Liuzzi'' was sunk. The three surviving boats were transferred to the BETASOM Atlantic submarine base at Bordeaux in 1940. After ''Tarantini'' was sunk, ''Bagnolini'' and ''Giuliani'' were selected for conversion to "Merchant submarine, transport submarines" in order to exchange rare or irreplaceable trade goods with Japan. Cargo capacity of 160 tons reduced reserve buoyancy from between 20 and 25% to between 3.5 and 6%; and armament was reduced to defensive machine guns. The submarines saw action in the Second World War during which they collectively sunk 5 freighters and 1 light cruiser and were eventually either sunk or captured. Ships ''Console Generale Liuzzi'' was Ceremonial ship launching, launched 17 September 1939. Two weeks after the Italia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shipyards Of Italy
A shipyard, also called a dockyard or boatyard, is a place where ships are built and repaired. These can be yachts, military vessels, cruise liners or other cargo or passenger ships. Compared to shipyards, which are sometimes more involved with original construction, dockyards are sometimes more linked with maintenance and basing activities. The terms are routinely used interchangeably, in part because the evolution of dockyards and shipyards has often caused them to change or merge roles. Countries with large shipbuilding industries include Australia, Brazil, China, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam. The shipbuilding industry is more fragmented in Europe than in Asia where countries tend to have fewer, larger companies. Many naval vessel ...

Paşabahçe (pron. "pah-shah-BAH-che", lit. "pasha's garden") is a chain of around 50 retail stores selling glass art, glassware, crystal, and other homeware, based in the Tuzla district of Istanbul, Turkey, part of the Şişecam company. It is named after the village of Paşabahçe that historically was famous for its glass furnaces. It features many designed inspired by Ottoman-era glasswork. History In 1935, Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, ordered the bank İşbank to found Pasabahçe in Beykoz to supply basic glassware for the country. The first products were glassware made from soda glass. In 1955, Şişecam adopted machine production, marking the first stage of today's automated production technology. In 1974, Şişecam began producing heat-resistant glassware. The company's modern retail stores launched in 1957. The wholesale and (starting in 1961) export businesses substantially expanded over the decades. Şişecam now manufactures in Bulgaria, Russia and E ...

Marina Militare
The Italian Navy (; abbreviated as MM) is one of the four branches of Italian Armed Forces and was formed in 1946 from what remained of the '' Regia Marina'' (Royal Navy) after World War II. , the Italian Navy had a strength of 30,923 active personnel, with approximately 184 vessels in service, including minor auxiliary vessels. It is considered a multiregional and a blue-water navy. History Before and during World War II The '' Regia Marina'' was formed on 17 March 1861, after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. The Italian Navy assumed its present name after the Italian monarchy was abolished following a popular referendum held on 2 June 1946. After World War II At the end of its five years involvement in World War II, Italy was a devastated nation. After the end of hostilities, the ''Regia Marina'' – which at the beginning of the war was the fourth largest navy in the world, with a mix of modernised and new battleships – started a long and complex rebuilding pr ...

Flutto-class Submarine
The ''Flutto'' class were a large Ship class, class of submarines built for the Italian Royal Navy (''Regia Marina'') during the Second World War. The ''Flutto''s were a development of the Italian 600 Series submarines, 600 Series of medium-sized, or seagoing, submarines. They were built to a partial double-hulled Bernardis design, influenced by war-time experience and construction adapted for mass construction. The ''Flutto''s were good sea-boats with improved internal arrangements, hull strength, anti-aircraft armament and diving times. They are regarded as the best medium-displacement submarines built by Italy up to that time. A total of 48 submarines were ordered, in three series (referred to as "Types"). The name ''Flutto'' means “Wind wave, wave”, and the Type I vessels were named for marine terms and sea-creatures. The Type II and Type III vessels all bore names of metals. Type I The first series of 12 vessels were laid down in 1941; six from Cantieri Riuniti dell' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
