護衛(wèi)艦是大型強力的多用途戰(zhàn)艦。在激烈的海戰(zhàn)中，他們可以威懾除戰(zhàn)列艦外的任何敵軍船只。護衛(wèi)艦的高航速使它成為護衛(wèi)快速商隊的首選。無論是單獨或是混編，他的高航速都使得他能出色的完成執(zhí)行巡邏任務。護衛(wèi)艦也經(jīng)常被用來清剿海盜和封鎖敵軍高口。

　　Frigates were large and powerful multipurpose warships. In heated battles they could stand their own against any enemy ship, with the exception of Ship of the Lines. The Frigate's high speed made them the preferred ships for escorting faster merchant vessels. Their speed also made them ideal for missions involving patrolling, either solo or in pairs. Frigates were also used to hunt pirates and blockade enemy ports.

　　10.輕型戰(zhàn)列艦

　　輕型戰(zhàn)列艦被設(shè)計作為一線作戰(zhàn)船只。他們可以在駛過敵艦的過程中接連不斷的開火。輕型戰(zhàn)列艦在兩層甲板上有大約50門中型加農(nóng)炮。他們并不是快速輕巧的船只，如果敵艦決定脫離海戰(zhàn)，輕型戰(zhàn)列艦很難在第一時間追上。輕型戰(zhàn)列艦可以運送大量的陸戰(zhàn)隊員，同時在攻擊敵軍港口的時候也表現(xiàn)出色。

　　Ship-of-the-line was designed to be used in line formation. This way they could sail past the enemy and fire a broadside after broadside in rapid succession. Light ship-of-the-line has around fifty heavy cannons on two decks. They are not agile or fast ships. If the enemy decides to make a run for it, ship-of-the-line would have hard time to catch up. Being able to transport large number of marines, ships-of-the-line are also excellent when attacking enemy ports.
