Italian aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi (C 551). It was the first through-deck aviation ship built for the Italian Navy. The ship has a full load displacement of approximately 13,850 tons. It was equipped to operate up to 18 aircraft, including AV-8B Harrier II fighter/bombers and various helicopters. The Italian Navy officially decommissioned the Giuseppe Garibaldi in October 2024, after nearly 40 years of service, and has reportedly sold it to Indonesia.
