	Encyclopedia: Sloop
		In sailing, a sloop is a vessel with a single mast on which is hoisted a fore-and-aft rigged mainsail and a single jib, plus extras such as a spinnaker.
		A marconi sloop is the optimal rig for upwind sailing, and consequently sloops are very popular with amateur sailors and yachtsmen, and for racing.
		To maximize the amount of sail carried, the classical sloop may use a bowsprit, which is essentially a fixed boom that projects from the front of the boat.

	Sloop-of-war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A brig sloop had two masts and a ship sloop had three, (since a brig is a two masted square-rigged vessel and a ship a three- or more-masted square-rigger, though invariably of 3 only in that period).
		A ship sloop was generally the equivalent of a corvette (the French term for the same type, a name subsequntly also applied to British vessels).
		After the Second World War, the sloops were replaced by frigates, which term had been re-introduced in 1940 for somewhat larger escort vessels more similar in size (though not in performance or cost) to the larger destroyers.

	SLOOP - Definition
		The typical sloop has a fixed bowsprit, topmast, and standing rigging, while those of a cutter are capable of being readily shifted.
		The sloop usually carries a centerboard, and depends for stability upon breadth of beam rather than depth of keel.
		One radical distinction is that a slop may carry a centerboard.

	Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: Sloop-of-War USS Constellation
		During 1852-53 the old 38-gun frigate USS Constellation, a contemporary of USS Constitution, was broken up at Gosport (Norfolk), VA. At the same time, in the same yard, a new 22-gun sloop-of-war was constructed, and was given the old frigate's name.
		The general deterioration of the ship is evident, as are the gunports cut into her bulwarks to "restore" her as a frigate.
		As a sloop she had no gunports on the spar deck.

		The second USS Constellation of the United States Navy was a sloop of war.
		Supporting the position that they are different ships are the facts that the sloop was designed anew from the keel up (without reference to the frigate), and was planned to have been built even if the frigate had not arrived in the yard at that moment.
		At the outbreak of the Civil War, she made the first Union Navy capture, overpowering the slaver brig Triton in African coastal waters.
