A hopeless or desperate enterprise

A forlorn hope is a band of soldiers or other combatants chosen to take the vanguard in a military operation, such as a suicidal assault through the kill zone of a defended position, or the first men to climb a scaling ladder against a defended fortification, or a rearguard, to be expended to save a retreating army, where the risk of casualties is high.

Forlorn Hope was the name given by a group of seven men to an open boat in which they sailed and rowed from Adam Bay, Northern Territory to Champion Bay, Western Australia, a distance of some 2,000 miles in May–August 1865.

Forlorn Hope é uma peça musical da banda de symphonic metal neerlandesa After Forever, lançada como 11ª faixa do álbum fonográfico "Decipher", o segundo da banda, datado de 2001.
