IL PROGETTO
Nave Cavour ha delle capacità operative molto flessibili che consentono le operazioni tipiche di una portaerei nonché del trasporto di autoveicoli e cingolati. È dotata di un ponte di volo per operazioni con elicotteri ed aerei V/STOL e un hangar/garage di 2.500 mq. Il sistema propulsivo è il più potente impianto non nucleare finora costruito (88 MW) ed è dotato di eliche a passo variabile progettate e costruite da Fincantieri.
