Frigate

From PotC Wiki

A frigate is a warship. The term has been used for warships of many sizes and roles over the past few centuries.

[edit] History

In the Age of Piracy, the term referred to ships which were as long as a ship of the line and were square-rigged on all three masts (full rigged), but were faster and with lighter armament. Frigate was originally a long, narrow nautical vessel used on the Mediterranean Sea, propelled by either oars or sail or both. Later, during the 17th and early 18th cent., the term was applied to a very fast vessel carrying 24 to 44 guns on a single flush gun deck. Frigates were employed by the European naval powers in large numbers as commerce raiders and for blockade duty but also for patrolling and escort.
