What was a very fast warship used during the war of 1812 by the US navy?
A very fast warship used during the war of 1812 by the US Navy was a frigate.
The US became the sole world super power following?
the end of the Cold War.
What was the influence of the German panther tank?
Like the Japanese super battleships, Germany had built Panthers/Tigers as super tanks to battle numerical superiority. The US out-produced Japan in battleships and Germany in tanks. For every warship Japan sank, the US replaced it with 20 more. For every tank Germany knocked out, the US replaced it with a 100 more.
For a story what US Navy ships would carry nuclear missiles?
Mainly aircraft carriers, submarines and some frigates. Personally, I think that all classes of warships can carry nuclear weapon launchers in terms of placement. If a frigate can carry a nuclear missile launcher, a destroyer can do it as well. Of course, when a different class of warship is chosen to carry nuclear weapons, military enginners will study the best location to install the machine. In other words, there isn't a warship specially designed to carry such weapon launcher. Aircraft carriers and submarines are systematically equipped with those nuclear missile launchers due to their characteristics, specially super aircraft carriers.
What role did Stephen decatur play in the war with tripoli?
Decatur was the biggest hero of the War with the Barbary Pirates. Most every other seafaring nation paid annual tribute to the Barbary Pirates, to get them to leave the ships of that nation alone. The US, being a new nation with an impoverished government, had no money to bribe pirates not to sieze US flagged ships, which led to the war. The Pirates would capture vessels, and imprison the crew and frequently sell them into slavery. The pride of the infant US was its tiny Navy, which did not have many ships, but did have six new, magnificient frigates, built during the quasi-war with France in the 1790s. These were swift and beautiful ships, and the most powerful of their class in the world. These were not the biggest warships of the era, being one size smaller than the capital, line-of-battle ships, of which the US had none. So they were the biggest thing the US had, and a match for the frigates of any other nation. (The USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides", preserved in Boston Harbor and the oldest warship still in commission as part of the US Navy, is the last surviving one of these six). One of these six fine frigates, the USS Philadelphia, was cruising off the port of Tripoli in the early days of this conflict, and her captain decided to take her inside the harbor. This was an ill-considered move, as he ran her aground inside the harbor, and the ship and crew were captured. This was certainly embarrassing, a US Navy warship and her crew in the hands of the pirates. It would be something like the Somali Pirates of today getting their hands on a nuclear bomb. These warships were the most intricate and advanced machines of the day. Decatur's greatest exploit of this war was to make a stealthy expedition at night into Triploi Harbor, with a small band of picked men, and burn the Philadelphia at her moorings, destroying her and depriving the pirates of this formidable weapon. It was impossible to bring her out, with the winds and tide as they were, and with his small group of men. This exploit electrified the US, and is the reason so many places in the US are named Decatur.

Is NOT a characteristic of the us navy's super frigates?
One characteristic that is NOT associated with the U.S. Navy's super frigates is their focus on heavy bombardment capabilities. Instead, super frigates are designed for versatile roles, emphasizing anti-submarine warfare, air defense, and surface combat. They typically feature advanced sensors and networked systems for enhanced operational effectiveness, rather than serving primarily as platforms for large-caliber naval gunfire support.
