	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).
		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.
		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).

	Sloop - Definition of Sloop by Webster's Online Dictionary
		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.
		formerly, a vessel of war rigged either as a ship, brig, or schooner, and mounting from ten to thirty-two guns; now, any war vessel larger than a gunboat, and carrying guns on one deck only.

	sloop on Encyclopedia.com
		A sloop of war was a small warship, variously rigged as a barque, brig, brigantine, or ship, that carried fewer than 18 guns in the British navy and fewer than 24 in the American navy.
		The sloop disappeared as a warship in the mid-19th cent., but during World War II the British revived the term to designate a small escort vessel armed with 4-in.
		A sloop differs from a cutter in that it has a jibstay—a support leading from the bow to the masthead on which the jib is set.

	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.

	Uss Constellation 1854
		The second USS Constellation of the United States Navy was a sloop of war.
		At the outbreak of the Civil War, she made the first Union Navy capture, overpowering the slaver brig Triton in African coastal waters.
		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.

		The Sloop is the smallest variant, and the Sloop of War is the medium-sized vessel.
		This is a larger and tougher version of the Sloop and the Sloop Of War.
		However, Royal sloops are produced only for military use: if a pirate wants one he'll have to take it from some navy.

		The ship-of-the-line Ohio and second-class sloop Warren were assigned to act as troop transports and the storeship Southampton and second-class sloop Lexington as refugee transports.
		The prosecution and conclusion of the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848 illustrate the truism that the nations of the world engage in wars for their own benefit and not for the benefit of people in other countries.
