		The term "frigate" was used in the seventeenth century, initially to describe a type of small, long, warship with small armament and a large crew used by Dunkirk for short-range raiding in the channel.
		The term "frigate" passed out of use in the mid-19th century and was readopted during World War II by the British Royal Navy to describe a new type of anti-submarine escort vessel that was larger than a corvette, but smaller than a destroyer.
		The frigate was introduced to remedy some of the shortcomings inherent in the corvette design, namely limited armament, a hull form not suited to open ocean work, a single shaft which limited speed and manouverability, and a lack of range.

		This brief history of the United States Navy is presented by, and from the perspective of, the United States Navy Veterans Association.
		By 1807 there existed in the United States a clear political consensus supporting a naval establishment, but the primary, and limited, theme of that Navy was still the protection of U.S. maritime commerce, and not the projection of American power, or even the protection of vital national interests.
		The Navy's first airfield was built at Annapolis in 1911, and the first naval air station was established at Pensacola in 1916, but it was not really until the late 1930s, after the threat of Hitler's and Japan's militarism became apparent, that the U.S. began to re-arm.
