Andrea Doria-class cruiser

The Andrea Doria class were helicopter cruisers of the Italian Navy. Italy's first major new designs of the post–World War II era, these ships were primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare tasks. The two ships that were constructed, Andrea Doria and Caio Duilio served until 1991 in both active and training capacities. A planned third ship, Enrico Dandolo (C555), was cancelled in favor of the larger follow-on Vittorio Veneto class.
