“新看到的一份资料中”,您直接把书名说出来不好么,《The Sailing Frigate A History in Ship Models》,第五章,‘After some deliberation the Admiralty ordered one 36 to be called Flora and one 38 which became Minerva: for the first time in the eighteenth century, the Royal Navy took the initiative in introducing a far larger and more expensive ship-type. The step-change was substantial. At a time when there was hardly a British-built frigate exceeding 700 tons, these new ships represented a huge escalation – the 36s typically cost nearly 40 per cent more than a 12pdr 32, but the 38s were almost twice as expensive; on the other hand, the 36-gun ship offered 52 per cent more firepower in broadside weight of metal and 62 per cent for the 38. They would not be built in large numbers, but for the first few years of their existence they had no equals in any other navy. They were highly regarded ships, and their entrance into service caused quite a stir – especially the 38s, which may be why there are a number of excellent contemporary models of them (apart from the two shown here, there is superb representation of Minerva, shown fully coppered, at Annapolis; and a model of Arethusa at Bristol, unplanked on one side revealing all the interior structure).’
至于本贴的主要问题,《The Sailing Frigate A History in Ship Models》一书里对此也有说明,该书第六章,‘While fighting the War of 1812 with largely expendable ships, the Admiralty was simultaneously preparing for the post-war world, with a substantial programme of properly seasoned hardwood Dockyard-built ships that would last. The stunning successes of the US 44s woke Britain’s enemies to the potential of such ships, so the Royal Navy would need 24pdr ships to counter French and Russian, as well as American, equivalents. This was an unwelcome escalation in size and cost, but there would never be more than a handful needed, so the main effort went into standard 38-gun frigates, which would become the smallest Fifth Rates (there would be no more 36s and 32s). However, no entirely new 18pdr frigate design was produced after the war, but the Seringapatam class, derived from a French hull form, needed significant modification to make their performance acceptable. All the new ships were completed with round sterns and the full panoply of Seppings’ structural innovations.’
按照此书的描述,英国海军在1815年之后因为44炮巡航舰的出现,导致英国海军同样需要设计建造主炮为24英磅炮的,载炮数在40门以上的巡航舰来对抗这些44炮巡航舰,但是这些“大型巡航舰”,无论是新造的还是削甲板的,成本都很高,不可能大量建造以替代数量庞大的其它五等巡航舰。为了控制成本,绝大多数的载炮数在40门以上的巡航舰,主炮都是18英磅炮(以《British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817-1863 - Design, Construction, Careers Fates》一书中的数据为准),而载炮数在38炮五等巡航舰成为了搭载18英磅炮的最小标准选择,但是,1815年后英国海军实际上没有新建38炮巡航舰。而1815年后的36炮巡航舰,她们的主炮基本上是32英磅炮(同样以《British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817-1863 - Design, Construction, Careers Fates》一书中的数据为准)。
