History
Italian Service
In the Italian Service, the American Fletcher class was renamed Fante.
During the years 1969-1970, Italy purchased three Fletcher class ships from the United States to replace the two Artigliere-class ships previously purchased from the United States in 1951.
The units that were purchased were:
- USS Taylor (DD-468) => Lanciere(D-560)
- USS Walker (DD-517) => Fante (D-561)
- USS Prichett (DD-561) => Geniere (D-555)
In particular USS Taylor was cannibalised to take spare parts for the other 2 units of the same class.
