Frigate

Frigate in Destroyermen means the three square rig DDs built in Baalkpan just prior to the Battle of Baalkpan Bay, the Kas-Ra-Ar class, although the Scott-class and others sail-steam DDs are also known as frigates. Only USS Donaghey survives by Storm Surge(Kas-Ra-Ar was destroyed in the Battle of Baalkpan Bay, Tolson was desroyed sometime later). They are the first purpose-built naval ships constructed by the Grand Alliance.

The three units of the class are named after Kas-Ra-Ar, the Sailing Master of the first Revenge, Larry Donaghey, the gunners' mate who died after saving Walker just afer the battle of Aryaal, and Rick Tolso, the captain of the first Revenge.

The hull is 168 feet long, thirty three feet wide with an as built armament of twenty four eighteen pounders, twelve per side. As of Devil's Due, Donaghey was also armed with four twelve-pounder chase guns, and several Republic-manufactured MG08 machine gun copies. The frigates can make about 16 knots under full sail.

Their crew consists of 200 officers and men, with a Marine detachment. They weigh 1,200 tons. By Blood in the Water, the last surviving frigate, Donaghey, is mostly used for scouting because she is outdated in the battle line.
