Overview
The T 53-class destroyers differed from their predecessors (the T 47 program) by having improved air detection systems, enabling them to carry out radar picket duties for ships of the French Navy. Forbin was laid down in Brest in August 1954, launched in October 1956, and commissioned in February 1958. In 1966–67 and 1971, the destroyer took part in supporting nuclear tests in the Pacific. In 1968–69, she underwent modernization to strengthen her radar equipment. In 1973, Forbin was converted into a training ship and reassigned to accompany the helicopter cruiser Jeanne d"Arc. In this role, Forbin made eight long-range voyages.
