Trieste (L9890) is a landing helicopter dock (LHD) of the Italian Navy.[12] It is expected to replace the Giuseppe Garibaldi around 2022.[13]

The ship will be equipped with heavy and medium helicopters (EH101 and NH90 respectively) and Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II aircraft.[14] It will have a floodable well deck below the hangar level able to accommodate amphibious landing vessels such as LCM (new Cantieri Navali Vittoria LCM23 type), LCAC, and newer L-CAT (Landing Catamaran) vessels. It also can carry Ariete MBT, B1 Centauro tank destroyers, and up to 600 soldiers. Its base will be in Taranto.[15][16]

The unit is being built at Fincantieri's Castellamare di Stabia facility near Naples. The first cut was 12 January 2017 and completed construction of the hull on 25 May 2019,[8] while the official delivery to the Italian Navy will be around the first half of 2022.[15] It is the largest Italian military ship built after the Second World War.[17]

It will be the largest vessel of the Italian Navy along with Cavour.[18][19]
