The Cabrini class is a new high-speed multipurpose patrol boat class of the Italian Navy (Marina Militare), also known as Unità Navale Polifunzionale ad Alta Velocità (UNPAV) or K-180.[5]

The Italian shipbuilding company Intermarine has begun building two high-speed multipurpose vessels for the Italian Navy, as part of a wider fleet rebuilding programme being delivered under the Legge Navale (or 'naval law').[6] The two naval units are destined for the special forces of the COMSUBIN.
