Usage

• Frigates are highly favorable for mass training naval leaders, as the upkeep to train a large quantity frigates is considerably cheap.
• Whenever playing any nation that has a port, make at least one frigate. A single cheap ship can help you a lot, whether it's trapping enemy troops, or allowing it to inflict minor damage to your enemies for less casualties when you attack the unit.
• Frigates can help invade island nations by attacking home guard troops on shore.
• You can use a frigate to engage the enemy's land troops and submarines in battles to gain crucial time for your destroyers, submarines or battleships to get there.
• You can use it to escort troops as it destroys submarines, though economically wealthier nations would most likely select destroyers instead.
