	Horizon class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Horizon Common New Generation Frigate (CNGF) is a multi-national collaboration to produce a new generation of anti-air warfare frigates.
		In the period 1995-1996 significant arguments, changing requirements and technological problems led to the slippage of the in-service-date of the frigates to around 2006.
		In 1999, with the overall programme in difficulties and the Horizon frigate itself effectively stalled, the UK announced that it was withdrawing from the CNGF project to pursue its own national design.

	Project Horizon / Common New Generation Frigate (CNGF)
		The Horizon frigate will also have anti-surface and anti-submarine capabilities to conduct an extensive range of missions: air defence as part of an aircraft carrier group, support of lightly armed or unarmed vessels or operations as a single unit.
		The Horizon frigate is predominantly an AAW vessel for zone defence and local defence against saturation missile attacks.
		These frigates are being built as a cooperative effort between Italy and France to assure the protection of a convoy of vessels against high levels of threat, and massive attacks by anti-naval missiles.

	Naval Technology - Horizon Class Anti-Air Warfare Frigates, France/Italy
		The frigates are being built by Horizon SAS, a joint venture between Armaris (Thales and DCN) of France and Orrizonte Sistemi Navali (Fincantieri and Finmeccanica) of Italy.
		The main missions of the Horizon frigate are to provide local area or extended cover against saturation missile attacks and to escort and protect carrier groups.
		Horizon is equipped with a SLAT torpedo defence system which is also installed on the French and Italian aircraft carriers, the Charles de Gaulle and the Garibaldi.

	Navy Matters \| Type 45 Section
		The Horizon Project was a troubled tri-nation collaboration for new air-defence frigate which begun in 1994 and finally cancelled in April 1999, writing off £75-200 million of the UK's investment in feasibility and assessment studies (depending how much "value" is counted as being reused by the Type 45).
		The main mission of Horizon frigates is to provide air-defence escort for a carrier battle group led by a Charles de Gaulle type aircraft carrier, or for a group of unarmed or lightly-armed ships, such as an amphibious or a mine-hunting force.
		The one criticism of the class was that they seemed under-armed for their size and cost, and so the Exocet missile system was installed on all ships after the first three, and those would be fitted with it at there mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).

	Leander class cruisers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		HMS Achilles (from 1941 HMNZS Achilles) was a Leander class cruiser of 7,200 tons built in Birkenhead, England and launched on 1 September 1932.
		She was upgraded to Improved Leander class in 1936 and transferred to the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy on 31 March 1937.
		In the early morning of 13th December a force consisting of Achilles, HMS Ajax (22) and Exeter detected smoke on the horizon, which was confirmed to be a pocket battleship, thought to be German battleship Admiral Scheer, at 06:16.

		The four frigates are part of a contract signed in April between China’s State Ship-Building Corporation and Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense Procurement.
		The F22-P class frigates are the export version of the Jiangwei-II Type 057 / Type 053H3, built by China between 1996 and 2005.
		While South Korea publicly assures its neighbors that this new class will be used for peacekeeping missions and humanitarian aid, this ship is potentially bad news for an enemy with a coastline and shifts the balance of naval power in the area, especially amid growing tensions with Japan and China.

	WHAT
		The 'Godavari' and 'Brahmaputra' class frigates are primarily ASW vessels and even the Delhi class destroyers, (variants of Kashins with strong influence of Russian Sovremenneyy class destroyers), are primarily ASW vessels with distribution of armament somewhat similar to the US Spruance class destroyers.
		The possible motive is perhaps to shift emphasis on sub-surface operations in the near and distant future to facilitate the operation and transition of friendly missile firing submarines like the ATV (Advanced Technology Vessel), acting as the nuclear deterrent capable of massive "second strike" retaliatory capability.
		The Dutch 'Jacob Van Heemskerck' class is an AAW version of 'Kortenaer' class while French 'Cassard' class is the AAW version of Georges Leygues class destroyer/frigates.

		Both classes would be capable of carrying two helicopters and up to seven weapon or sensor modules, and all six would be rapidly adaptable as minelayers.
		A sixth ex-Netherlands frigate, the Kortenaer, was purchased in June, reactivated, and commissioned in mid-December as the Kontouriotis.
		The other new class, whose design was derived from lessons in signature reduction learned in the construction and operation of the trials craft Smyge (now employed as a public relations and recruiting platform), has been a quartet of 200-ton inshore mine countermeasures craft.

		The third submarine of the class, the Weller, was commissioned on 10 July; the fifth, the Sheean, was launched on 1 May, and the sixth and final submarine, the Rankin, is to be launched this May. The Sheean and the fourth submarine, the Dechaineux, are to be given an interim--but expensive--upgrade before entering active service.
		The second and third 2,180-ton Jiangwei-II-class frigates, with the Chinese version of the French Crotale Modulaire point-defense surface-to-air missile system, were to have been completed during 1999, with the fifth to have launched and a sixth building.
		Of the latter class, the Gelibolu (ex-USS Reid [FFG-30]) was transferred on 1 January 1999, the Gökçeada (ex-USS Mahlon S. Tisdale, [FFG-27]) arrived in Turkey on 27 September, and the USS John A. Moore (FFG-19) is to be transferred this year to complete a sextet of the class in Turkish service.

	WHAT
		The 'Godavari' class frigates are primarily ASW vessels and even the Delhi class destroyers, although "stretched" variants of Kashins in Indian Navy service, are primarily ASW vessels with distribution of armaments similar to United States Spruance class destroyers.
		The latest class of submarines, the Russian Kilos, the German Type 1500 and the projected Franco-Spanish Scorpenes are all SSKs (Submarine, conventional powered hunter-killer).
		However considering the emerging sophistication of future generations of nuclear submarines it may be logical to opt for destroyer sized vessels similar to Japanese 'Haruna' and improved 'Shirane' class, with the aft flight deck extending to one-third of the length of the ship.

	DDG-993 KIDD-class
		The KIDD class were the world's largest destroyers and, after the Aegis-equipped Arleigh Burke class, the most powerful multi-purpose destroyers in the fleet.
		The four ships of this class, originally designed for sale to the then-friendly Iranian Navy, were unique among US Warships, in that it combined the combat systems capability of the former VIRGINIA-class cruisers with the proven anti-submarine warfare qualities of a SPRUANCE-class destroyer.
		The ship is obviously derived from the Spruance class vessels, the main difference being the mounting of two twin-arm launchers for SAMs, as opposed to the ASW equipment of the Spruances.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		With the combined frigate programs currently standing at 27 units, other navies in need of new frigates or corvettes may well consider joining the program to realize cost savings for all parties involved.
		Many of the characteristics found in the Krivak III and Talwar classes will also be found in the Indian-built Nilgiri-class (Project 17) frigate, of which the first unit was launched at Mazagon Dock shipyard in Mumbai on 18 April 2003.
		The Point class was built to meet a need identified in the Strategic Defence Review to move Great Britain's Joint Rapid Reaction Forces in time of crisis, as well as for sustainability and recovery of the force.

		The basic hull and the main machinery of the Pakistani ships are to be the same as that of China's Jiangwei II-class frigates, but the command-and-control systems, the weapons and the sensors will be specially modified to Pakistan’s needs.
		The Jiangwei II Class, at 2,250 tons, appears generally similar to the original Jiangwei but carries an eight-cell HQ-7 SAM to replace the original HQ-61 SAM, and eight modified YJ-83 SSMs replacing the original six YJ-82 SSMs.
		For self-defense, the class carries the RWD-8 intercept, 981-3 jammers, SR-210 radar warning receiver, and two PJ46 decoy rocket launchers.

	World Affairs Board - New european frigates/destroyers...
		The Norwegian Nansen class is not optomised for AAW like the other three and therefore a smaller less capable warship.
		The Nansen class will not be perfect for Norwegian needs untill they can find money to buy SM-2 IIIB missiles and more mk41 VLS cells.
		The British Type 45 deserves a mention though..and let's not forget the French/Italian Horizon class...what impresses me witht the Type 45 Daring class is the extreme radar mast, allowing the Sampson active phased array radar to be mounted very high up.

	'D' Class Type 45 Destroyer
		A tri-national memorandum of understanding regarding the CNGF (Common New Generation Frigate) was signed between Italy, France and the United Kingdom in 1993.
		Almost immediately after the cancellation of Project Horizon the Navy launched its own replacement programme, which would build on the research and development that was undertaken for the CNGF.
		However the revelation that the Type 45 would be known as the ‘D’ Class and the first units Daring and Dauntless came slightly as a surprise as in the run up to the announcement many speculated they would emulate the Type 42 and take the names of British cities.

	Centurion
		The barrels of the twin cannons are installed parallel and very close one to another, and focal coils are added to the muzzles, to allow fine aim corrections and the convergence of the two beams in a single spot on the target.
		The E.A.S. Centurion, less than a year after the service, with her task force, composed of one Nike battlecruiser, three Omega destroyers, and four Lupo class frigates, was involved in a skirmish with an unspecified enemy, probably different from the Drakhs, while escorting the E.A.S Styx in an unspecified mission.
		The attack against the Earth Allianc fleet was enforced by a single ship, that was destroyed by the combined firepower of the units of the task force and of the Styx.

	USS Horizon - Mission Summary 04: Conspiracies And Genocide
		The Horizon stopped at Starbase Omega to pick up some new crew members and exchange her mission pod which was a Colony pod for an Augur sensor array.
		While beaming onboard the space suit the Horizon attracted the attention of one of the ships in the system which came after the Horizon, once the space suit was aboard, the ship turned on a return course to Starbase Omega.
		The Horizon couldn't lock on with a tractor-beam, because the secondary computer was used to boost the Augur array.

	Sheffield Class Type 42 Destroyers
		The principle role of the Sheffield Class Type 42 destroyers is to provide area air defence for a task force and since their introduction into service they have constituted the fleet's principle anti-air warfare capability.
		After the abandoning of the CVA fleet carrier replacement programme in the 1960s, the requirement for a class of large escorts- the Type 82 Destroyers- ceased to exist and only one unit, Bristol, was completed.
		The four batch 3 ships- often referred to as the 'Manchester Class'- are some seven metres longer than the rest of the class and hence are known as 'stretched'.
