A frigate can be any of several classes of "warship."

Modern frigates are similar in size to destroyers, i.e. smaller than cruisers. US frigates are comparable to the Destroyer Escorts of World War II, which were more heavily armed ships.

What is a frigate?

Historically speaking, a frigate is a warship larger than a corvette, but smaller than a ship of the line, with between 28-48 guns. Examples of frigates are the 38-gun HMS Trincomalee, the 44-gun USS Constitution, and the 28-gun HMS Surprise. In modern times, a frigate is a warship which is smaller and slightly slower than a destroyer and serves in a convoy-protection and patrol capacity, with fewer VLS cells than a destroyer, but more than a corvette. In some European navies, the term frigate is applied to ships which are internationally considered destroyers. Some examples of modern frigates are the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates of the US navy, the Type 23 frigates of the Royal navy, and the FREMM multi-purpose frigate.
