Best Answer

Historically, frigates came in a variety of sizes. They were all square-rigged three-masters, and sometimes as long as a ship of the line -- though lighter, faster, and more lightly armed.

Modern frigates are smaller than destroyers and cruisers, and run anywhere from 4000 to 9000 tons displacement. The Oliver Hazard Perry class of United States frigates are roughly 450 feet long and have a beam of 45 feet. Displacement is around 4100 tons.
