MM Cavour (C552) is the next generation Italian VSTOL aircraft carrier. Construction began in 2001 and the Cavour was launched from the Riva Trigoso shipyard in Genoa on July 20, 2004. She is expected to be commissioned and enter service in 2008.
The ship is designed to combine VSTOL and helicopter air operations, amphibious operations, and the transport of military or civil personnel and heavy vehicles. She will have extensive command and control facilities and will take over as the flagship for the Italian Navy from the carrier, MM Garibaldi C551, which currently holds that distinction.
The hanger can double as vehicle parking, fitting up to 24 tanks or many more lighter vehicles. The hangar has side access ramps for ROR operations as as well as two elevators to the flight deck.
Cavour has been named after the Italian politician Count Camillo Benso di Cavour.

The new Spanish Strategic Projection carrier, the L61, Juan Carlos I, started construction in May 2005 and was launched on March 10, 2008. She will be commissioned in late 2008 or in 2009The vessel is meant to be a multi-role vessel suited for either the Sea Control role with VSTOL aircraft, or the Amphibious Assault role with helicopters, air cushion craft, landing craft and supporting VSTOL attack aircraft.
In the Sea Control role the vessel will be able to carry up to thirty aircraft, though the normal airwing would consist of 22. In the Amphibious assault role, the vessel will be able to land up to 900 troops and all of their equipment through air and/or sea assault, carrrying a mixed airwing of 22 helicopters and VSTOL aircraft.
The vessel is intended to be complimentary to the current Principe de Asturia carrier and not replace it.
The revolutionary propulsion system for the vessel (similar to the French Navy's Mistral Class of LPH) requires no shafts, instead using electrically driven POD devices for both props, thereby also eliminating conventional rudder systems, the PODs acting in that role as well.
Combined with the Principe de Asturias carrier and the F100 AEGIS frigates the Spanish have built to protect them, the Spanish Navy will, with this larger carrier have developed into a significant regional force capable of projecting Spanish interests and protecting sea lanes around the world.

y quanto aviones illeva?20?mira el cavour puede tranquillamente viajar con 25 av8b y 7eh101 (impensable porque la mmi no tiene 24 av8b..pero podria illevar tranquillamente)
de el bpe yo sabia 27010 y en config de vuelo no supera los 25000tons..
30 vstol el bpe? an costruido otro hangar aier en la noxe?el bpe illeva maximo 15 av8b..con 30 av8b se transforma en un submarino
Como PA, lo mismo ocurrira con el BPE, creo que no se embarcaran todos. El Juan Carlos puede llevar 30 VSTOL + 12 helos. O 21 VSTOL + 24 helos. Tanto el Cavour como el Juan Carlos, tienen limitaciones para despliegue rapido, limitada a los aviones que pueden ir en la cubierta.
Como submarino, no aún, pero no te figuras como estaran las evoluciones años adelante ?
Los 2 BPE para Australia, no deberan ser mucho diferentes del Juan Carlos I.
