Fincantieri Marine Systems North America (FMSNA), a company specialized in marine systems, components and services which is part of the US subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Group (FMG), was awarded the maintenance contract for the U.S. Navy’s “Avenger”-class minesweepers.

Four minehunters from the two allies’ navies pooled their collective resources to work with two of the Royal Navy’s frigates operating in the Gulf for two action-packed days which extended far beyond the art of hunting mines.
