The Horizon class is a French-Italian air-defence destroyer programme, known in Italy as the Orizzonte class. The French Forbin shown here shares the family with Chevalier Paul and the Italian Andrea Doria and Caio Duilio; national equipment differences remain distinct.

Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew remain unstated rather than mixing variants or load conditions. Radar range, acoustic performance and magazine figures are not assigned.

Historical profile

Published milestones differ: Fincantieri dates Andrea Doria commissioning to 2007, while Forbin was delivered in 2008 and commissioned in 2009. A single disputed family introduction year is therefore left unstated.
