Description

Description	The US Navy's Constellation-class frigate program involved building a new class of frigates based on Fincantieri's FREMM design. The program was planned to include 20 ships, with the first two being constructed at Fincantieri's Marinette Marine yard in Wisconsin. However, due to cost overruns, delays, and design changes, the program was cancelled after two ships were half-built, with four additional ships under contract but not yet started being cancelled. The Navy plans to keep the two ships under construction under review and aims to shift to more rapidly constructing new classes of ships.
