Giovanni delle Bande Nere (P434) is the fourth ship of the Thaon di Revel-class offshore patrol vessels built for the Italian Navy.

Its armament will include 16 Aster 15 and Aster 30 surface-to-air missiles, Teseo anti-ship missiles, two triple launchers for MU90 torpedoes, a 127 mm and 76mm turret and two remotely operated 25 mm mounts.

Sensors include an ATAS towed sonar for anti-submarine warfare and a Black Snake antenna for torpedo detection, as well as ODLS 20 decoy launchers with anti-missile and anti-torpedo countermeasures.

The missile will have a new terminal "head" with dual RF seeker (Radio Frequency) and, presumably, given the need to even attack ground targets, IIR (Imaging IR).

[6][7][8] Giovanni delle Bande Nere was laid down on 28 August 2019 at Fincantieri Muggiano and was launched on 12 February 2022.
