After more than six months since the last update, we have decided to provide a new overview of the Italian Navy’s naval units deployed outside the Mediterranean (the previous update is here: https://www.itamilradar.com/2023/05/20/italian-navy-units-outside-the-mediterranean/). Currently, there are 9 Italian ships located outside the Mediterranean, let’s see where:
