The 50s, which usually had a main armament of 18 pounders, lasted until the end of the Napoleonic Wars; there were clearly a few tasks for them (such as acting as a flagship on minor overseas stations), even though the 18 pounder frigate had taken over the majority of their cruising tasks.
The early eighteenth century naval sloops (‘sloops of war’) had two masted rigs, being snows, ketches and brigantines (what would later be called brig rig square rigged on both masts and not brigantines in the nineteenth century usage which is still current with fore and aft sails only on the mizzen).

But if things go badly, history may well judge the war to be a criminal enterprise - unjustified, unprovoked, illegitimate, catastrophic for the Iraqi victims of the conflict and destructive of the rules of international relations as they have evolved over the past half century.
In this war, the great unanswered question is whether American and British troops will meet any serious resistance, not just from the elite units of the Iraqi army but also from the civilian population.

 Review - Army Men: Sarge's War // Xbox /// Eurogamer
The Army Men brand may well apply to the toy soldiers we played with for all of ten minutes at some point in our youth, but as we've grown older it's become far more synonymous with mediocre videogames.
But that's what happened, and the cheap and cheerful Army Men: Sarge's War is the first result.
The fact that it only takes a handful of hours to complete on Normal difficulty is probably a good thing, all said, and the multiplayer is even more frustrating thanks to the awkwardly over-sensitive player and camera movement.
