Which Italian Navy aircraft carrier did the crew of INS Trishul visit at Civitavecchia?

  1. A.ITS Garibaldi
  2. B.ITS Cavour
  3. C.ITS Trieste
  4. D.ITS Andrea Doria

Correct answer

B. ITS Cavour

Explanation

The correct answer is ITS Cavour. The frigate's crew went aboard this Italian aircraft carrier while both ships were at Civitavecchia, and the visit gave officers and sailors of the two navies a chance to compare professional practice and exchange experience at sea. Options A, C and D name other Italian naval vessels and are offered as plausible alternatives, but the carrier visited on this occasion was ITS Cavour. Separately, the Commanding Officer of INS Trishul called on the Fleet Commander of the Italian Navy. Vice Admiral Aurelio De Carolis, who holds the posts of Fleet Commander and CINCNAV, and India's Ambassador to Italy, Vani Rao, visited the Indian ship and met its crew, and both attended a cultural event hosted on board.
