The Royal Navy captured a handful of the new French frigates during the early stages of the Seven Years\' War (1756–1763) and were duly impressed by them, particularly for their inshore handling capabilities.
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.

 USS Brandywine
Laid down in 1821, the frigate Susquehanna was renamed Brandywine prior to her launching by Washington Navy Yard, with President John Quincy Adams on board, 16 June 1825.
On 8 September 1825 she sailed from Washington Navy Yard with the Marquis de Lafayette on board, returning to France after a visit to the United States.
Brandywine is notable as the final evolution of the 44-gun frigate design that began by the Constitution and her sisters a quarter-century earlier; while ships such as the Raritan were launched in the 1840s and differed in details, their basic design was identical to Brandywine.
