Meet America’s daring frigate captains

The US Navy decided they wanted to procure ships of extreme quality to fight against the numerically superior British navy.

Fantastic Navy history - thanks Tony. It was very well written.

Thanks for the excellent post, info in the link - the (way) back in the day paintings/images were amazing. Amazing, storied (and continuing) history made by the USN.

All on the same team but still rub it in bigtime to USNA friends when Rutgers beats Navy (once in a while that is), Go Army notwithstanding!
