The frigate was a class of warship operated by, among others, the British, French, Spanish and Portuguese navies.
During the Golden Age of Piracy, the frigate was among the most well-armed class of warships in operation throughout the Caribbean, shy of the greater Man O' War. Each ship bore three masts, and was capable of fielding up to forty-six guns over two decks; on top of this, they were fitted with heavy shot.
Frigates use their mix of speed and fire power to move alongside ships, deliver broadsides and then move out of the way of returning fire.
