In this title, Mark Lardas explores the origins of American
warships, primarily light and medium frigates, built for the
Continental Navy during the years 1776-1783. This was the first
navy of the United States and much of the fleet was comprised of
ships that had been modified from existing vessels, converted into
warships to provide a crucial service during the American
Revolutionary War. Despite having no real funding, this unique
fleet had a surprising amount of success against the might of the
Royal Navy, and this title discusses the strengths and weaknesses
of each design, and the differences between European and American
warships of the time. With a close look at how these ships
performed in key battles, as well as the exploits of John Paul
Jones - the founding father of the United States Navy - this is a
complete, illustrated overview of the ships' service and
development until France's entry into the war and the subsequent
decline in importance of the Continental Navy.
