	Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British sailing frigates during the period 1640-1860 were rated fourth-rate, fifth-rate and sixth-rate according to the rating system of the Royal Navy.
		Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
		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.

	Frigate
		During the age of sail, a frigate was a sailing vessel designed for speed, with a flush gun deck carrying 24 to 44 guns, used as scouts attached to larger fleets, as commerce raiders, for blockade duty, and for the protection of convoys.
		With the introduction of steam and steel warships frigates as a class of warship passed out of use until World War II when they were reintroduced by the British as an antisubmarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
		Sail frigates and steam frigates evolved into cruisers; they are only related to modern frigates by name.

	Frigate
		The classical sailing frigate as we know it from the Napoleonic wars can be traced back to French developments in the second quarter of the eighteenth century.
		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.
		Many modern frigates have landing decks aft and can carry helicopters, which give them extra capabilities: the helicopters can be used for reconnaissance tasks (bearing radars), have anti-submarine capabilities (by dropping sonobuoys or wire-mounted sonars, and carrying torpedoes and depth-charges), are invaluable for rescue operations, and can also perform other support duties (ferrying).

	Frigate, Classic frigate.
		The new sailing frigates were able to fight with all their guns when the seas were so rough that comparable two-deckers had to close the gun-ports on their lower decks.
		Like the larger 74 which was developed at the same time, the new frigates sailed very well and were good fighting vessels due to a combination of long hulls and low upperworks compared to vessels of comparable size and firepower.
		Royal Navy frigates of the late 18th century were based on the 1780-vintage Perseverance class, which displaced around 900 tons and carried 36 guns; this successful class was followed by the Tribune class batch of fifteen ships starting in 1801 that displaced over 1,000 tons and carried 38 guns.

		Beginning with the near total rebuild in the late 1980's and through the development and delivery of sail training sessions and port visits around the Atlantic rim, the challenge to keep her safe, inspected and magnificent has cost many long days and not a few sleepless nights.
