This study reveals the crucial role played by the 50-gun ship in the British development of both the battleship and the frigate, and explains the survival of the type into the 19th century. Charting its origins in the pre-Commonwealth frigates, the author follows the development of the type in the 18th century, highlighting its revival for the special conditions of colonial warfare during the American Revolution.
