The term "frigate" was used in the seventeenth century, initially to describe a type of small, long, warship with small armament and a large crew used by Dunkirk for short-range raiding in the channel.
The term "frigate" passed out of use in the mid-19th century and was readopted during World War II by the British Royal Navy to describe a new type of anti-submarine escort vessel that was larger than a corvette, but smaller than a destroyer.
The frigate was introduced to remedy some of the shortcomings inherent in the corvette design, namely limited armament, a hull form not suited to open ocean work, a single shaft which limited speed and manouverability, and a lack of range.
The navy was a part of the conflict from the very beginning of American involvement to the very end of the war, and proved to be a vital element in the success of the Allies.
UnitedStates naval strategy changed to that of forward deployment in support of U.S. allies with an emphasis on carrier battle groups.Palmer, Michael A. "The Navy: The Transoceanic Period, 1945-1992".
The Navy is administered by the Department of the Navy, led by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV).
