	Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
		The name frigates passed out of use until World War II when it was re-introduced by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
		The term "frigate" would lie mostly unused until after the Second World War, when it would be reappropriated to describe ships that during the war had been called destroyer escorts.

		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 name frigate passed out of use in the mid-19th Century and was readopted after World War II by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
		Some new classes of frigates are optimized for high-speed deployment and combat with small craft ahead of the usual idea of sea combat between equal opponents, an example of this school of thought is the American Littoral Combat Ship, as exemplified by the first ship of the type, USS Freedom.

	The Knox Class Destroyer Escort/Fast Frigate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Knox class was the result of congressional opposition to mounting costs of the Brooke FFG class Missile Frigate after only six Brooke class ships were built.
		Knox class frigates, all of which have been retired, fulfilled a Protection of Shipping (POS) mission as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups and merchant convoys.

	Frigate
		In the early steam age (1840-60) steam frigates (not directly descended from sail frigates) were the fastest ships around, finally evolving into the cruisers of the 20th Century.
		They were far larger than any other frigates ever seen, and all were properly reclassified as guided missile cruisers in 1975 (except for the smaller Farragut-class ships, which were reclassified as guided missile destroyers) and struck from the Naval Vessel Register in the 1990s.
		USS Long Beach (CGN-9, ex-CGN-160, ex-CLGNGN-160) was the last cruiser in the United States Navy to be laid down on a cruiser-style hull.

	Destroyers
		The early ships of this class were built with round streamlined bridge fronts, while the second group had a squared bridge structure and had the MK 37 director lowered to help stability and to reduce building time.
		The hull for this class was widened one foot to increase stability and fuel storage.
		Between 1945 and 1947 virtually all of the survivors of this numerous class were scrapped or sunk as targets, showing their age and the amount of wear and tear inherent in wartime.

		Helicopters operating from the SAR destroyers and frigates can cover more than a hundred mile in a hour and if a flier hits the water within sight of a friendly ship, chances are excellent that he will be aboard in less that 15 minutes.
		Destroyers of the Forrest Sherman and Hull classes are the newest destroyers in the Navy and are similar to the guided missile destroyers in their hull design, gunnery and sonar.
		Fast destroyer escorts of the Garcia class are used primarily on anti-submarine patrols and carrier operations because of their excellent sonar systems and anti-aircraft batteries.

	Bronstein Class
		The Bronstein class ships operated the QH-50C DASH from commissioning and after their sonar upgrade to the SQS-26AX(R), received the QH-50D variant of DASH.
		The desire to regain the speed yet maintain the ASW capabilities of the BRONSTEIN led to the development of the 19-foot-longer GARCIA class DE whose pressure-fired 1200 PSI boilers allowed their 2 Foster Wheeler/ de Laval geared turbines to generate 35,000 shp resulting in the 27 knots the Navy wanted.
		The Bronstein class incorporated the same 600 PSI engineering plant as the Dealeys, but interestingly even though they were considerably larger, they were slightly faster than the DEALEY's as well, probably because the large bow-mounted sonar gave them a more efficient hull form.

		Of these nineteen frigates, eight (the Broadsword and Garcia-classes) are second-hand from the UK and US, three were built in the UK, and eight have been built in Brazil (or, in the case of the Barroso-class frigate, being built).
		The centerpiece of its Navy is the cruiser Almirante Grau, a former Dutch vessel with eight six-inch guns and eight Otomat anti-ship missiles.

		The Essex class had hours of firefighting, extensive casualties, and could be essentially destroyed above the flight deck, requiring a trip to a repair yard, as you say.
		The tradeoff is that the Essex class ships had three times the aircraft complement, allowing them to operate in an serious offensive capacity, whereas the Illustrious class ships could not, even taking into account that they could go light on combat air patrol.
		Four of the class were hit by kamikaze but all were able to operate aircraft after a few hours.

		As a research ship, she will test equipment designed to more readily detect and track enemy submarines, and she will evaluate tactics and procedures which may be used by future classes of escorts.
		She was essentially a DE-1040 (GARCIA) class ship with a shrouded propeller and a raised stern to accommodate experimental sonar equipment.
		In 1979, she was reassigned to regular frigate duty and, on 1 October of that year, was given the hull number of a cancelled KNOX-class ship, FF-1098.
