Description: This is the first in-depth history of the sailing navy's most popular and charismatic ship type at the height of its development. Their actions have been the stuff of history and sea fiction for generations, but the ships themselves are hardly documented at all. This book redresses the balance and describes the design, construction, armament and fitting of individual classes; it looks at the factors that influenced their development, compares the ships of the major navies and analyses the way in which frigates were employed in many roles they were expected to perform.Illustrated with the original plans, photographs of models, and contemporary prints this is a major work for historians, modelers and naval enthusiasts. Hardcover.Brand new, unused condition.
