	All Wood Wings: Frigates: FF-1052 USS Knox Class Frigates - quality ship models crafted from wood
		Accordingly the mission of the Knox class was altered to ASW Escort from that of a general escort.
		The Knox class has the distinction of being the last destroyer type ships built for the US Navy which were equipped with boiler and steam propulsion.
		Frigates resemble destroyers in appearance; but they are slower, have only a single screw, and carry less armament.

	Type 21 (Amazon Class) Frigate (UK)
		The Amazon class frigate was one of the two main classes of frigate in service with the Royal Navy during the 1980s.
		The Type 42 destroyers were at a very early stage of development, as was their sister ships the Type 22 frigates (to replace the Leander class (Type 12M)), and so a large gap was threatening to open up in the Royal Navy's modern fleet escort surface vessels.
		The one criticism of the class was that they seemed under-armed for their size and cost, and so the Exocet missile system was installed on all ships after the first three and those would be fitted with it at their mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).

		Intended as a replacement for the existing fleet of ageing Type 42 destroyers, the Type 45 will be the largest general purpose surface warship, aside from carriers and amphibious vessels, constructed in the UK since World War II.
		The Type 45 is the UK’s national successor to the common new generation frigate (CNGF) or project horizon-class a tripartite venture with Italy and France and itself a replacement for the abortive early 1990s NATO NFR-90 frigate programme.
		PAAMS, the Type 45’s main armament, was originally intended to equip the CNGF and in spite of early difficulties, due in part to differing national requirements, it has survived, to meet the UK national and ongoing Franco-Italian Horizon requirements.

	Type 054 (Jiangkai Class) Multirole Missile Frigate \| Navy \| SinoDefence.com
		The Type 054 (NATO codename: Jiangkai Class) is the new generation multirole frigate for the PLA Navy.
		Like the French La Fayette class, the Type 054 incorporates a number of stealthy features, including the sloped side to minimise radar cross section, the radar-absorbent paint on the hull surface, and the reduced profiles of external features.
		The Type 054’s primary surface strike weapon system is the YJ-83 (C-803) sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missile.

		Frigates are said to be cheaper than destroyers (an destroyers, cheaper than cruisers).
		A fairer price comparison would probably be the 42s with the Type 21 frigates of the same period, cut-price frigates bulking out RN numbers whilst the 22s were being introduced.
		The frigate / destroyer distinction works slightly differently in the USN, so isn't strictly relevent to this line of argument, especially when the 'frigates' you mention, DLGs, were later classified as cruisers, a change in classification strategy, the confusion arrising from attempting to classify them by WW2 standards of armament.

	AMI International - Definitions of Vessel Types
		A frigate is a medium-sized surface combatant (between 2,000 and 5,000 tons) that is either suited for one specific role (anti-submarine warfare or anti-air warfare), or has lesser all-around capabilities than a destroyer.
		A frigate may be less capable than a destroyer, but is still a relatively sophisticated and expensive (averaging around US$325 million apiece) platform.
		These types of vessels are made of steel and are easily repaired and maintained for years.

	Lucrehulk-class Core Ship - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The basic type of core ship was a transport equipped only with point-defense laser cannon, designed to carry supplies around the Galaxy.
		In 21 BBY, the Separatist force deployed to secure Spaarti Creations on Cartao consisted of a core ship equipped with three C-9979 landing craft and around five thousand battledroids.
		Later on in the Clone Wars, a ship of this type, Gahenna, was involved in an orbital duel above Honoghr and subsequently crashed on the planet, while two more of the same design participated in the Battle of Rendili, where they proved an equal match for two Acclamator-class assault ships.

		Progressive improvements in the threat, notably in stealth, speed, resistance to countermeasures and sophisticated terminal homing, have overtaken the further development potential of the Sea Dart and by the mid-eighties it was realised that a complete replacement system was clearly needed.
		A national programme to replace the Type 42 Destroyers was the originally preferred procurement route and UK-only Type 43 and 44 programmes were considered.

	BLACKWOOD class frigate
		The high cost of the Type 12 WHITBY design, the premiere RN frigate of the 1950s, prompted the RN to order this smaller, cheaper, and less capable class of anti-submarine frigates.
		Mounting the same ASW equipment and weaponry of the Type 12 design, these ships were highly specialized in ASW but little good for anything else other than common patrol duties.
		Hull problems surfaced in the late 1950s when subjected to heavy seas, and their hulls were strengthened as a result.

	STSTCSOLD&A \| Klingon L-42 "Great Bird" class - Frigate
		The largest of the three 'Bird of Prey' class ships, the L-42 looks no different from the smaller K-22 scout (the ship FASA says was seen throughout Star Trek III and Star Trek IV) and the mid-sized D-32 cruiser.
		The L-42 being classified as a frigate is yet another example of what I consider to be a mistake on the part of the FASA writers, in that a frigate in 21st century Earth terms is smaller than your average sea cruiser and not as heavily armed.
		Like so many FASA frigates the L-42 is a match for some of the bigger cruisers, doing well against ships like the V-27, Enterprise (Constitution Refit), and Reliant (Miranda/Soyuz) classes, to say nothing of other overpowered frigates like the Chandley class.

	Transforming the Navy's Surface Combatant Force
		Although ships of this type have a flight deck on which a helicopter can land, and most are equipped to refuel and rearm a helicopter, they have no hangar and thus would not normally be deployed with a helicopter.
		Other types of ships, smaller than any in the current force, might also be necessary to fulfill missions that surface combatants already perform and will still be required to carry out 30 years from now.
		Much like the role that the Spruance class destroyer played in the current generation of surface combatants, the DD(X) is intended to be the "pathfinder" for technologies that would be used in all subsequent ships of the next generation.
