Comandanti-class patrol vessellarger figure on 2 of 3
Tir-class speedboatlarger figure on 1 of 3
Counts only measures both sources give with the same scope. A larger figure is not a better system.
Measured figures
- CODAD scheme - 2 shaft and 2 propellers with variable-pitch - 2 x rudders - 2 x active-fin stabilizers - 2 x diesel engines Wärtsilä -NSD W18-V-26 XN (6,480 kW (8,690 hp) each) - 3 x diesel engine generators Isotta Fraschini V1712-T2-M2, 900 kW (1,200 hp) each, with 3 Magneti Marelli M7R500SA4 (1125 kVA)[source]
3 diesels (type unknown), 3 DIO waterjets
Single source3 1200hp diesels (type unknown), 3 DIO waterjets[source]
Bars compare reported quantities only. A larger figure does not make a system better; configurations and test conditions differ.
