Platon Alexiades Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I would like to mention the recent launch of the frigate Emilio Bianchi, named after one of the heroes of Alexandria in December 1941. Being born in Alexandria, the story was always close to my heart! I know that Bianchi passed away only a few years ago and I am grateful to observe that his action has been suitably recognised by the Italian Navy. https://www.analisidifesa.it/2020/01/varata-la-decima-fremm-la-fregata-multiruolo-emilio-bianchi/ Platon Giuseppe Garufi and Francesco De Domenico 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Garufi Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Grazie per aver ricordato l'Impresa di Alessandria ed uno degli uomini che la portarono a termine.Le due precedenti navi della classe sono intitolate ad altri due degli autori dell'impresa: Antonio Marceglia e Spartaco Schergat. Una foto dell'unità gemella LUIGI RIZZO in transito nello Stretto di Messina. Nel frattempo, giunge notizia che ci sarebbe l'intenzione di cedere le ultime due unità alla marina egiziana.Sarebbe una caso della sorte ben strano se Antonio Marceglia ed Emilio Bianchi tornassero ad Alessandria sotto nuove spoglie.

Platon Alexiades Posted February 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Dear Giuseppe, It would indeed be very special if the two ships return to Alexandria under Egyptian colours. Many thanks for the comments! All the best, Platon Iscandar and Giuseppe Garufi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Garufi Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 A questo punto, non c'è più alcun dubbio SPARTACO SCHERGAT tornerà al Alessandria con il nome di AL-GALALA. Aspettiamo di conoscere il nuovo nome di EMILIO BIANCHI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Garufi Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Sulla pagina Facebook Naval Analyses ci sono due foto e un'analisi (come dice il nome della pagina ) sulle modifiche apportate alla FREMM egiziana. https://www.facebook.com/navalanalyses/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Garufi Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Ero lontano da Messina, quindi non ho potuto fotografare la fregata AL-GALALA (ex EMILIO BIANCHI) in transito nello Stretto di Messina. Rimedio con due foto tratte da Shipspotting, utente Tomasello Letterio, che ritraggono la bella nave proprio in transito nello Stretto. Buona giornata.

Platon Alexiades Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Dear Giuseppe, It is nice to know that in a way, Emilio Bianchi is returning to Alexandria after 80 years. Many thanks for the link! All the best, Platon Giuseppe Garufi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
