Frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1658 words)
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.
Frigates were perhaps the hardest-worked of warship types during the age of sail.
The term "frigate" passed out of use in the mid-19th century and was readopted during World War II by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
Article about "Frigate" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 (500 words)
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.
They were far larger than any other frigates ever seen, and all except the Farragut class (which were smaller than the others) were properly reclassified as cruisers in 1975 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register in the 1990s.
