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 ...

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] |
Peruvian Ironclad Independencia
''BAP Independencia'' was a broadside ironclad built in England for the Peruvian Navy during the mid-1860s. During the War of the Pacific of 1879–83, ''Independencia'' ran aground while pursuing the Chilean schooner ''Covadonga'' during the Battle of Punta Gruesa on 21 May 1879. The survivors were rescued by ''Huáscar'' and the wreck destroyed to prevent its capture. Description ''Independencia'' was long between perpendiculars, had a beam of and a draft of . The ship displaced . She had one trunk steam engine that drove her single propeller. The engine produced which gave the ship a speed of .Silverstone, p. 353 For long-distance travel, ''Independencia'' was fitted with three masts"Some South American Ironclads", p. 204 and barque rigged.

Broadside Ironclad
An ironclad is a steam-propelled warship protected by iron or steel armor plates, constructed from 1859 to the early 1890s. The ironclad was developed as a result of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive or incendiary shells. The first ironclad battleship, , was launched by the French Navy in November 1859 - narrowly pre-empting the British Royal Navy. They were first used in warfare in 1862 during the American Civil War, when ironclads operated against wooden ships and, in a historic confrontation, against each other at the Battle of Hampton Roads in Virginia. Their performance demonstrated that the ironclad had replaced the unarmored ship of the line as the most powerful warship afloat. Ironclad gunboats became very successful in the American Civil War. Ironclads were designed for several uses, including as high seas battleships, long-range cruisers, and coastal defense ships. Rapid development of warship design in the late 19th century transformed the iro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Schooner Virjen De Covadonga
The schooner ''Virgen de Covadonga'' was a ship that participated in the Chincha Islands War and the War of the Pacific, under Spanish and Chilean flags. She was launched in 1859. ''Covadonga'' hit a floating mine and sank off Chancay in 1880. Construction A Royal Order of 10 June 1857, led to ''Covadonga''s keel being laid at the Arsenal de la Carraca in Cádiz, Spain, on 13 February 1858. She was a wooden schooner that was also fitted with steam propulsion. She was launched on 28 November 1859, and her construction cost a total of 5 million ''Reales de Vellón''. She was named for the Battle of Covadonga - a highly symbolic event in Spanish history, being considered the beginning of the Reconquista. She was commissioned by Royal Command on 8 October 1858. Her first commander was Lieutenant Evaristo Casariego y García. She was originally intended as a mail boat between Manila and Hong Kong, with her berth at the Naval Base of Manila, in the Philippine Islands. Chincha Is ...
