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.
