How the Frigate Compares to the Destroyer warship

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

How the Frigate Compares to the Destroyer warship -A frigate is the smallest of the three and in modern usage, is mainly used to hunt submarines. In previous centuries, they were used for scouting, commerce raiding, and serving as communication relays in the line of battle. It was convention in those days, that ships of the line did not fire on frigates, unless the frigate fired first.
A destroyer is generally the next size up from the frigate. Their initial purpose was to destroy torpedo boats, which in the late 19 C were vessels about the same size, armed primarily with torpedoes. At the time, they were called “torpedo boat destroyers” or contre-torpilleurs in French. In the 20th C, the roles were merged. By WWII, they had acquired significant anti-aircraft and anti-submarine vessels as well. They were used as escorts for merchant convoys and for large warships to protect them against submarines or aircraft and radar pickets for a fleet.

    Right now, Canada is trying to arm its next generation type 26 frigates likes destroyers. Nomenclature does not mean that much when all countries are equipping their ''frigates'' the way they want. I mean, Japanese destroyers are actually helicopter carriers... What more do I need to say?

    the name Destroyer comes from shortening the actual name which is torpedoboat-destroyer. meaning a vessel that was developed during the age of battleships to protect the battleship formations from small torpedo boats which where using swarm tactic to attack. destroyer as a name therefore doesn't have anything to do with size nor is it a menaingfull name for todays situations and tactics. frigate on the other hand has been a name for a small to mid sized ocean going war ship since the age of sails. I have no idea why americans think that destroyers are somehow supposed to be larger than frigates? size doesn't come into the naming convention at all. the next lager vessel than a frigate would be a cruiser which name comes from a ship cruising through the seven seas far away from home port which requires a larger vessel.

    if the Tico class is a cruiser, it is a light-cruiser - or a heavy frigate. the Burke class is more of a heavy-frigate, or super-frigate. the Kirov class is a real cruiser; it's built to engage American aircraft carriers, far from home-shores. the Sovremenny class is an example of a missile-destroyer. destroyers were primarily surface-to-surface combatants, not general-purpose warships. that came later. they should be defining warships by their hull-type (width, and ability to withstand attack), tonnage, their armament, and their purpose. a frigate is traditionally a fast, very well armed, warship, that does escort duty, and light surface-to-surface combating. it's purpose nowadays is general. a destroyer is a fast surface combatant that dominates its tonnage and below - it should be able to engage capital warships, as part of a squad. it was once used to defend capital ships from PT-torpedo boats, but that time is past. it does do escort duty, now. a cruiser is a step above a destroyer, and dominates in tonnage and armament - it is primarily a surface combatant. very well armed and equipped compared to destroyers and frigates. a battleship is something you don't see anymore.

    Kilo Knots?!?!? No such measurement of speed for sea going vessels. I think the author is confusing how to spell and read the word “knot”. It is an imperial unit of measurement of speed and pronounced as ‘not’ with the silent ‘k’. The ‘k’ does not represent the metric prefix ‘kilo’. I hope the author will fix this very amateur-ish error.

    No such thing as a Kilo Knot you knot heads.. It's KNOTS for water speed. You could use Kilometers Per Hour if you've been raised with metric drilled into you head, but water speeds are in KNOTS!

    I mean, TECHNICALLY speaking there IS such a thing as a "kilo knot" (1.000 knots). What there isn't, and will most certainly NEVER be, is a ship capable of moving at such a ludicrous speed. I mean, if the fastest frigate in history reached 45 knots, what kind of technology would a ship even NEED to be able to reach A THOUSAND knots, and how it would even look like?

    @@enterprise59 No, yeah, I'm agreeing with you there, I should have made it a bit more explicit. I doubt anyone has ever used the term "kilo knots" seriously. I'm just pedantically pointing out that there CAN be such a thing, but that it is so HILARIOUSLY impossible and unrealistic (one "kiloknot" would be like 1200 mph; and, as you said yourself, knots are used for water speeds) that you probably won't find it even in the wildest examples of Sci-Fi. And if you DO find it, damn, please tell me where, I'd love to see what crazy idea the author/creator comes up with to explain such a ship :o

    Frigate , destroyer, littoral combatant ? Just a ploy by military top brass to hoodwink their clueless taxpayers to fund more ships from more categories of surface combatants . It’s like a boy asking mummy to buy more cast iron toy aero planes - he has a fighter plane , but no interceptor , and no ground Attack aircraft🤣
