    I am inserting some photos of the Amerigo Vespucci Italian Navy training ship.
    Many details can be useful for static and dynamic modeling.
    In any case it was a pleasant visit, I took advantage of the fact that it stopped at the port of Civitavecchia

    Here is some information about the ship.

    "The Amerigo Vespucci is a sailing ship of the Italian Navy, built in 1931 in Castellammare di Stabia (NA), as a training ship for the training of officer cadets of the normal roles of the Naval Academy of Livorno.

    From 1946 to 1952 it was the only sailing training ship of the Italian Navy until the entry into service of the Ebe, a brigantine schooner purchased by the Navy in 1952 and which had been built in 1921. Starting in 1955 it was joined by another sailing ship purchased from France and renamed Palinuro. Currently the Amerigo Vespucci is the oldest ship of the Italian Navy still in service.
    On the occasion of the 1960 Rome Olympics, the Amerigo Vespucci transported the Olympic flame by sea from Piraeus to Syracuse.
    Some sources report an anecdote, which dates back to the meeting that took place in July 1962 in the Mediterranean with the US aircraft carrier USS Independence, according to which the latter would have flashed its light signal: "Who are you?", receiving in response: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy". The US ship would then have signaled: "You are the most beautiful ship in the world"
