Vulcano is an auxiliary ship that entered service with the Italian Navy on 12 March 2021. She is designed to support fleet operations with fuel and dry stores. Along with another future sister ship, she is expected to replace the replenishment oilers (AORs) Stromboli-class replenishment oiler. Vulcano was financed under the 2014 Naval Law, for €346 million, then increased to €374.6 million, when the length was extended by 12 metres (39 ft). A second vessel was ordered in January 2022 for projected delivery in 2025. The Navy also has an option for a third ship of the class.

The French Navy through OCCAR ordered four modified ships of the class to replace its Durance-class tankers to be delivered in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029. The program is known as the Bâtiment ravitailleur de forces (BRF). France officially joined the program in October 2018. The French BRF ships will be 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) longer at 194 m (636 ft 6 in) and 31,000 tons full load displacement compared to 27,200 tons, reflecting the French fleet's greater need for aviation fuel.

Vulcano was built by Fincantieri as hull number 6259. The stern section was built at the Riva Trigoso Naval Shipyard and the bow section is being built at the Castellammare di Stabia (Naples) Naval Shipyard. On the night of 22/23 July 2018, a fire broke out on the ship's stern superstructure.

Vulcano is designed as a support ship able to supply a large naval squadron at sea. She was commissioned in March 2021. A second ship of the class, Jacques Chevallier, is under construction for the French Navy and steel was cut on a second ship of the class for the French Navy in February 2022 and on a second ship for the Italian Navy in July 2022.
