	Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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.
		Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
		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.

		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.

	Knox class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knox class frigates was originally laid down as ocean escorts (formerly called destroyer escorts), but were all redesignated as frigates on 30 June 1975 in the USN 1975 ship reclassification and their hull designation changed from DE to FF.
		The lead ship of the class was the USS Knox (DE-1052), laid down October 5, 1965 and commissioned April 12, 1969, at Todd Shipyards in Seattle.
		The frigates were also equiped with an AN/AQS-35V Independent Variable Depth Sonar (IVDS) manufactured by EDO Corportaion of College Point, NY, operating actively in the 13Khz range with dual Planned Position Indicator (PPI) battle displays.

		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.
		Knox class frigates represent the most successful of the second generation escort vessels built after World War II; cruising at 22 knots on one boiler and fitted with a 5-bladed, fifteen foot wide propeller.

		The ' Type 12 (Leander)-class ' were a twenty-six class of frigates, arguably the most successful and popular frigates in the Royal Navy 's history.
		The first batch were general purpose as an alternative to the far more expensive single role classes such as the Rothesay-class and Whitby-class frigates.
		The ASW mortar was also removed to allow the helicopter deck to be extended to enable the class to operate the larger, and more capable, Westland Lynx.

		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.
		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.
		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 Ainsworth FF-1090 Knox Class by Iron Shipwright
		Knox frigates lacked the speed of destroyers, another source of criticism from the surface warfare crowd, and the single screw design made them vulnerable.
		These frigates were, however, very wet, and this was addressed by fitting later ships (and retrofitting earlier vessels) with raised bulwarks forward and hull mounted spray strakes.
		Knox class frigates were the largest class of post WW2 USN surface vessels until an even larger class of Perry class frigates replaced them.

	Knox Class Frigate - AFV Club 1/700
		The largest class of naval ships built in the western world since the end of the Second World War are the 46 ships of Knox Class.
		The Knox class was designed as a relatively cheap ASW ship, and as such they had just one propellor shaft which produced a top speed of 27 knots.
		I have long admired the looks of the Knox class (in fact I scratchbuilt a half dozen or so in 1/2400 scale many years ago), and was pleasantly surprised to see that one had been released in injected form by AFV Club.

		The frigates are equipped with the most effective anti-submarine warfare sensors that the navy has ever had at its disposal.
		These frigates, built in the early 1970s, were already approaching their service ceiling of 20 to 30 years when the US delivered them to the navy between 1992 and 1998.
		A naval officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said many of the Knox frigates have developed serious mechanical problems, causing their patrol missions to have been greatly reduced.

	Knox Class Frigate
		This was the first major class of starships in which all of the vessels were fitted with a "megaphaser" capability instead of a torpedo armament.
		The entire class was contracted with one firm to speed production, limit cost, and facilitate development by cutting down on the past practice of deifferent shipbuilders stressing different areas of ship design.
		This class is fitted with the Dobis weapon system, a variant of Cetis; Dobis is not equipped with such features as a standardized training system and defensive and exploratory group operation programs.

	Round Uptakes
		He was the Chief Engineer of the only Knox-class frigate in the entire Pacific Fleet with round uptakes, and his career was pretty much over.
		Although originally designated as Destroyer Escorts and later reclassified as Frigates, at well over four-hundred feet long and nearly four thousand tons displacement they were bigger than most destroyers of their era.
		The huge, circular base gradually tapered as it climbed into the sky; there was a funny-looking big, flattened cylinder with rectangular exhaust uptakes plopped on top, then all the radars and antennas and stuff was piled on top of that.

	Chi Yang [Knox] Frigate - Republic of China [Taiwan] Navy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In 1998 the United States agreed to provide four Knox class frigates to Taiwan as part of the third batch of delivery and to sell all six of the same class of frigates which were previously leased to Taiwan.
		Two of the four Knox-class frigates were scheduled to arrive in Taiwan in September 1999 to enter service; while another two frigates, to be bought at bargain prices, will be scrapped and their parts used as logistics support for other frigates of same class.
		The Plan calls for modernizing the Knox class frigates with a new type of combat combat command center and equipping them with new radars, active towed array sonars, Phalanx or area air defense vertical launch systems, and active and passive electronic warfare systems.

		Their bishops and priests were classed as felons, a price set on their heads, and an incredible number of both clergy and people who adhered loyally to the religion of their forefathers were either put to the sword or hanged, drawn, and quartered.
		General Henry Knox, son of a Belfast emigrant, who was master of ordnance, served in every battle with Washington, and was appointed first secretary of War on the organization of Government in 1789.
		As a result of the activities of these associations, Irish Catholics in many parts of the country, almost alone among all classes of the population, were subjected to insult and oppression and were made the victims of mob violence, their dwellings demolished, their families made homeless, their churches and convents fired, and their clergy ill-treated.

		On Monday, the military-run Youth Daily ran a story about the navy's successful monitoring in January of a Russian-made Sovremenny-class frigate as it passed through the Taiwan Strait to be delivered to China.
		The No. 938 Ningyang trailed the Sovremenny-class frigate, the second of its kind China has ordered from Russia, for as long as 10 hours, the report said.
		Such a detailed report of the navy's monitoring of the Sovremenny-class frigate has left reporters at many of Taiwan's privately run news organizations wondering what message the defense ministry was trying to send.

		The Loknar class frigate was deemed to be too light to fill a main combat role and so plans were drawn up for a larger frigate.
