The '''Horizon class''' (French: '''Classe Horizon'''; Italian: '''Classe Orizzonte''') is a [[Ship class|class]] of [[Anti-aircraft warfare|air-defence]] [[destroyer]]s in service with the [[French Navy|French]] and [[Italian Navy|Italian]] navies. They are designated as destroyers by the Italians<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.marina.difesa.it/EN/thefleet/home/Pagine/launcherdestr.aspx | title=Destroyer – Marina Militare }}</ref> and are referred to as "frigates" by the French but nonetheless also use the [[NATO]] classification "D" intended for destroyers. The programme started as the '''Common New Generation Frigate (CNGF)''', a three-nation collaboration between [[France]], the [[United Kingdom]], and [[Italy]] to develop a new generation of air-defence warships.<ref name=navaltech>{{cite web|title=Horizon Class|url=http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/horizon2/|publisher=naval-technology.com|access-date=1 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150316214126/http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/horizon2/|archive-date=16 March 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> Differing national requirements, workshare disagreements and delays led to the UK withdrawing from the project in 1999 to develop the [[Type 45 destroyer]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Alexander |last=Nicoll|title= National differences scupper frigate project|work= Financial Times |date=27 April 1999}}</ref>

The [[FREMM multipurpose frigate]] were built using the same company structure as the Horizon project.
