it's an LHD.
full load displacement: ~32,000 tons
LOA: 245 m (804 ft)
beam: 36 m (118 ft)
here's the design:
according to wikipedia, it's already under construction (grains of salt).

Not , it's financed but they have still to began construction.
It's a part of a larger Naval Plane, centered on the construction of 14/16 PPA (multirole high sea patrol ships) i.e. 2 tier frigates.
Well, let's say italian style 2 tier frigates, each packed with more fire power than all the LCS put together + a pair of fleet replenishment ships + SF superfast vessels and the said LHD.
It would be F-35B capable bur emphasis is much more on amphibious operation, given the recent grown of our San Marco marine infantry to a full (and more) brigate size.

thanks for confirming that.
that's why i added the note about grains of salt.
wikipedia is useful, but frequently inaccurate.

Stated dimensions are almost the same as Cavour, e.g. 1 metre longer.

Amphibious ship with secondary Harrier/F-35B carrier role. It has a dock, a vehicle deck, troop accommodation & no ASW weapons or provision for them.
