Greatest? Biggest, maybe, but greatest? It's all in the definition, I guess ...
Me, I prefer a frigate. Very Happy

You could be right. After Trafalgar most of the real fighting was by the frigates.

How many frigates and smaller are really remembered in their own right though. So First Rates are the greatest ..... The others are definiately the most undervalued and (excuse the pun) underrated!
