Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
Early frigates were armed with nine-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.
The name frigates passed out of use until World War II when it was re-introduced by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
