	Welcome to Frigate Online Magazine
		Frigate is no longer an active Web site.
		Frigate takes its name from Emily Dickinson, "there is no frigate like a book"; from the thieving frigate bird, which never lands on earth; from "frig it," the midwest's favorite pseudo-obscenity.
		We are a piratical frigate, and we take our riches where we find them.

	frigate - Encyclopedia.com
		Frigates were employed by the European naval powers in large numbers as commerce raiders and for blockade duty.
		However, during World War II frigates were reintroduced by the British as a form of antisubmarine escort larger than a corvette and smaller than a destroyer.
		Modern frigates are often armed with antisubmarine weapons and guns; many are missile-armed and some are nuclear-powered.

	What Is A Frigate?
		French frigates, evolving at about the same time, were more lightly built and capable of speed adequate both to run down a prey and to escape if it should prove too strong.
		Frigates, like all major warships of that era, were rated by the number of long guns they were designed to carry.
		His frigate would be big and strong, able to carry heavy cannon in large numbers, and it would be fast enough to able to choose whether to fight or run.

	Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
		Early frigates were armed with 9-pounder (4 kg) guns, development soon led to 12- and 18-pounder (5 and 8 kg) armed frigates, and at the turn of the century the biggest ones even carried 24 pounder (11 kg) main batteries.
		The term "frigate" passed out of use in the mid-19th Century and was readopted during World War II by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.

	From Frigate to Sloop - A Critical Review
		That is, the old frigate was heavily modified before she was brought into the Gosport Virginia Navy Yard in 1853, and a substantial portion of the old frigate was converted into the sloop which emerged from the yard in 1855.
		Thus, the frigate’s lines were not altered before her demise in 1853 and the sloop today bears no architectural relation to the old frigate.
		The underwater hull lines of the frigate were, except for age deformation, the same as they were when she was launched.

	The Frigate Pelican.--Man-of-War-Bird.
		It is indeed a beautiful sight to see them when thus occupied, especially when several are so engaged, passing and repassing with the swiftness of thought over the trees whose tops are blasted; their purpose appears as if accomplished by magic.
		The Frigate Pelican is possessed of a power of flight which I conceive superior to that of perhaps any other bird.
		The Frigate Pelican mounted with it across his bill about a hundred yards, and then tossing it up caught it as it fell, but not in the proper manner.

	Great Frigate Bird at Animal Corner
		The Magnificent Frigate bird is found in the Caribbean and on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the Americas.
		The Galapagos population of Magnificent Frigate birds is considered to be an endemic subspecies.
		Since Frigate birds have only a small oil gland and very little waterproofing in their wings, Frigate birds cannot dive and must instead rely on their superb aerobatics to snatch flying fish out of the air.

	Frigate birds soar but can't swim or walk
		Frigate birds don't land on the water (or the ground) because their short legs and broad wings make it difficult, if not impossible, to take off.
		Consequently, frigate birds must either pluck fish and squid from the water's surface or steal it from other seabirds.
		Although frigate birds catch most of their own fish and squid, they occasionally use their exceptional flying skills to harass booby birds and shearwaters into regurgitating their food.

	The Naval Frigate Birger Jarl
		When the frigate sank it was armed with twenty-two 36-pound cannons and ten 24-pound carronades, as also indicated in the plans of the vessel in the Swedish War Records Office.
		One of the Danish reports mentions that some of the officers on board the Swedish vessel had mentioned that while the frigate was being kedged from the harbour of Karlskrona, she had drifted aground in which connection a plank possibly came loose from the hull.
		Further information on the loss of the frigate is most probably available in the archives of the Naval Museum in Karlskrona (folder 159, reports and investigations of wrecks).

	Pictures, Photos of Frigate Birds of Galapagos
		Also called man-o'-war birds, frigate birds are large seabirds (family Fregatidae, order Pelecaniformes) about the size of a hen and have extremely long, slender wings, the span of which may reach to about 2.3 m (nearly 8 feet), and a long, deeply forked tail.
		The frigate bird is perhaps the most aerial of all birds except the swift and alights only to sleep or to tend its nest.
		The adult, with insufficient preening oil to waterproof its plumage, never willingly alights on the water, but it is unbelievably fast and skillful in the air, soaring effortlessly and often diving to recover falling fish dropped aloft by panic-stricken boobies or other seabirds.

		Frigates are said to be cheaper than destroyers (an destroyers, cheaper than cruisers).
		Also for Francis, as long as we are on the subject of the RN, the Type 22 frigates were notoriously more expensive than the contemporary Type 42 destroyers, blowing the "frigates are cheaper" arguement out of the water too.
		The frigate / destroyer distinction works slightly differently in the USN, so isn't strictly relevent to this line of argument, especially when the 'frigates' you mention, DLGs, were later classified as cruisers, a change in classification strategy, the confusion arrising from attempting to classify them by WW2 standards of armament.
