The Albatross-class consisted of 10 ships built by Italy to give to some NATO nations using American funds to increase the defence capabilities of these nations under the Mutual Defence Assistance Program, eventually, the albatross class corvettes were built, all equipped at the beginning with two 76mm SMP3 placed both front and rear, a twin 40mm Breda-Bofors tower at the rear in the centre of the ship and a hedgehog launcher to attack submarines, later the various nations would change the existing armament to something else.
Of the Albatros-class, 3 corvettes would be built for Italy, 4 corvettes for Denmark but the class would be renamed Triton-class in their case, 2 corvettes for Indonesia but these, in particular, would be modified quite a bit creating the Pattimura-class and is a slightly larger version of the Albatros and finally a corvette for the Dutch navy.
Albatros F-543 Service history
Laid down on 27 June 1953, launched on 18 July 1954 and entered into service on 1 June 1955, the Albatros F543 was the first ship of the Albatros class to be built, to support allied ships in convoy in the role of submarine-destroyer and in defence against enemy small ships, and to patrol the coasts. She was assigned to the 10th A/S Squadron of the 1st Naval Division until October 1962, and on 4 March 1956, she was awarded the combat flag by the ANMI (Associazione Nazionale Marinai d'Italia) Group of Ivrea in Genoa. After active service, she went on to serve as a training ship, carrying out fishing surveillance missions in the Sicilian Channel until June 1983, before being permanently transferred to La Spezia where, in 1986, she was taken out of service and decommissioned.
