Horizon Class Frigate to birth at MAST 2007

Andrea Doria, the  Italian Navy's flagship Horizon-Class frigate will grace MAST 2007.

Andrea Doria was launched in 2005 and delivered to the Italian Navy earlier this year.

In definitive testament to their commitment to the MAST series of events, Fincantieri and Finmeccanica have sponsored the presence of the Italian Navy's flagship vessel at this year's MAST conference and trade-show.

Pre-registered MAST participants will be able to visit the frigate - to be docked adjacent to/near the trade-show halls - during the three days of MAST (14th to 16th November), and an invitation-only function onboard is likely to be hosted by Finmeccanica and Fincantieri
