Paolo Thaon di Revel (P430) is the lead ship of Thaon di Revel-class offshore patrol vessel.

Italian Navy ordered the new MBDA TESEO MK/2E heavy-duty missile (TESEO «EVO»), a long-range anti-ship missile with also strategic land attack capability. The missile will have a new terminal «head» with dual RF seeker (Radio Frequency) and, presumably, date the need to even attack ground targets, IIR (Imaging IR). Compared to the predecessor OTOMAT/TESEO, the TESEO «EVO» MK/2E has a double range, or more than 360 km. Former OTOMAT is accredited for a range of action of more than 180 km.

Paolo Thaon di Revel was laid down on 9 May 2017 at Fincantieri Muggiano and launched on 15 June 2019. Expected to be commissioned in May 2021. 15 November 2019, she underwent her first sea trail off the Gulf of La Spezia.
