意大利海军曾经拥有一支很强大的潜艇部队,建造潜艇的技术相当出色。然而二战以后,意大利作为战败国,其潜艇发展由盛转衰,从此一蹶不振。直到1965年,意大利海军才开始建造“托蒂”级潜艇,之后的1974年又重新设计建造了“萨乌罗”级常规潜艇。目前“萨乌罗”级常规潜艇仍是意大利海军的主要装备要进行特定海域的警戒防卫、情报搜索等工作。 The Italian Navy once owned a very powerful submarine force, and the technology for building a submarine was quite good. However, after World War II, Italy, as a defeated nation, suffered from a slump in its submarine development. It was not until 1965 that the Italian Navy began the construction of the Totti class submarines, and in 1974 redesigned and built the “Sauro” class conventional submarine. At present, “Sa Wulu” class conventional submarine is still the main equipment of the Italian Navy to carry out special surveillance and defense, intelligence search and other work.
