Cesare Laurenti (Terracina, 1865 –Rome, 1921) was an Italian naval engineer.
Laurenti was a naval engineering officer who designedsubmarines and founded a company to build them. He devoted himself to all branches of study in underwater navigation. In 1892 he became the director of technical experiments for the first Italian submarine,Delfino, which was driven by abattery-poweredelectric motor and designed by Giacinto Pullino. Laurenti transformed it by adding agasoline engine, thus allowing a large surfaced cruising range while recharging the batteries underway. In 1909-10 he designedUSS G-4 for theUS Navy.[1]
