Frigates
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 ...

Screw Frigate
Steam frigates (including screw frigates) and the smaller steam corvettes, steam sloops, steam gunboats and steam schooners, were steam-powered warships that were not meant to stand in the line of battle. There were some exceptions like for example the France, French Napoléon-class ship of the line, Napoléon class steam ship of the line was meant to stand in the line of battle, making it the world's first steam battleship. The first such ships were paddle steamers. Later on the invention of Propeller#Screw propeller, screw propulsion enabled construction of steam-powered versions of the traditional ship of the line, ships of the line, frigates, corvettes, Sloop-of-war, sloops and gunboats. Evolution First steam warships The first small vessel that can be considered a steam warship was the ''Demologos'', which was launched in 1815 for the United States Navy. From the early 1820s, the British Navy began building a number of small Steamship, steam warships including the armed tu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of French Sail Frigates
This article is a list of French naval frigates during the Age of Sail, from the middle of the 17th century (when the type emerged) until the close of the sailing era in the middle of the 19th century. The tables excludes privateer frigates (i.e. those owned by individuals or business enterprises), which were not part of the ''Marine Royale'', as well as frigates built for the French East India Company (''Compagnie des Indes'') unless the latter were subsequently acquired by the French Navy. Note that throughout this article the term "-pounder" refers to French pre-metric units of weight - ''livres'' - which were almost 8% greater than UK/US units of the same name; every other maritime power likewise established its own system of weights and each country's 'pound' was different from that of every other nation. Similarly French pre-metric units of length (''pieds'' and ''pouces'') were 6.575% longer than equivalent UK/US units of measurement (''feet'' and ''inches''); the pre- ...

List Of French Modern Frigates
The list of French modern frigates covers ships acquired or built between 1925 and the present day. This list is not comprehensive. In France, "destroyers" are called "''contre-torpilleurs''" or "first rank frigates"; hence, destroyer-size ships might be listed here. During the 1940s, frigate-size ships were called "torpilleurs". * **''Orage'' (1926) ** (1927) **''Simoun'' (1926) **''Tramontane'' (1927) **''Trombe'' (1927) **''Bourrasque'' (1926) **''Cyclone'' (1927) **''Mistral'' (1927) **''Siroco'' (1927) **''Tempête'' (1926) **''Typhon'' (1928) **''Tornade'' (1928) * **''Mars'' (1926) **''Le Fortuné'' (1926) **''Palme'' (1926) **''La Railleuse'' (1926) **''Alcyon'' (1926) **''L'Adroit'' (1927) **''Boulonnais'' (1928) **''Brestois'' (1928) **''Bordelais'' (1930) **''Basque'' (1930) **''Forbin'' (1930) **''Fougueux'' (1930) ** (1931) **''Frondeur'' (1931) * **''Albatros'' (F762, 1931) * **''Hardi'' (1938) **''Fleuret'' (1938) **''L'Adroit'' (ex-''Épée'') (1938) **''Mameluck' ...
