Frigate
A frigate () is a type of warship. In different eras, the roles and capabilities of ships classified as frigates have varied somewhat. The name frigate in the 17th to early 18th centuries was given to any full-rigged ship built for speed and maneuverability, intended to be used in scouting, escort and patrol roles. The term was applied loosely to ships varying greatly in design. In the second quarter of the 18th century, the 'true frigate' was developed in France. This type of vessel was characterised by possessing only one armed deck, with an unarmed deck below it used for berthing the crew. Late in the 19th century (British and French prototypes were constructed in 1858), armoured frigates were developed as powerful ironclad warships, the term frigate was used because of their single gun deck. Later developments in ironclad ships rendered the frigate designation obsolete and the term fell out of favour. During the Second World War the name 'frigate' was reintroduced to des ...

List Of Ships Of The Line Of Spain
This is a list of Spanish ships of the line (comprising the battlefleet) built or acquired during the period 1640-1854: Those with 94 or more guns were three-deckers, while all the others listed were two-deckers. The Spanish term for ships of the line was ''navíos'', but during the latter part of the Habsburg era (until 1700) ships continued to be designated as ''galeón''. Those ships with secular names (e.g. royal, geographical or adjectival names) were additionally given an official religious name (or ''advocación'') which appears below in parentheses following the secular name. Until 1716 there was not one single Spanish Navy but several naval forces, of which the ''Armada del Mar Océano'' was the primary one but several other distinct forces existed. The ''Real Armada'' ("Royal Navy") was created by the newly-established Bourbon government in 1716, but the other ''armadas'' (in Spanish, the word "armada" is used for both "navy" and "fleet") endured for several years thereaft ...
