It's very much the same in business, especially in shipbuilding.” Dario Deste, CEO &amp; President, Fincantieri Marine Group, discussing the skillsets of being a former Navy pilot that translate into shipbuilding leadership.

      <image:title>News - US Navy to christen Future USS Cincinnati (LCS-20)</image:title>
      <image:caption>LCS is a modular, reconfigurable ship, designed to meet validated fleet requirements for surface warfare (SUW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and mine countermeasures (MCM) missions in the littoral region. An interchangeable mission package is embarked on each LCS and provides the primary mission systems in one of these warfare areas. Using an open architecture design, modular weapons, sensor systems and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to gain, sustain and exploit littoral maritime supremacy, LCS provides U.S. joint force access to critical areas in multiple theaters.</image:caption>
