'''Frigate navy''' is a term describing a [[nation state]]'s [[navy]] that is made of mostly [[frigate]]s or [[destroyer]]s as a major combat force. This navy would thus be lacking large vessels such as [[cruiser]]s, a significant number of effective [[submarine]]s, or [[aircraft carrier]]s, but it would also be more effective and deployable than a navy that just maintains [[corvette]]s or [[gunboat]]s. A frigate navy can be a [[green water navy]] or a [[brown water navy]], depending on how logistics are structured. The [[Royal Netherlands Navy]] is an example of a frigate navy, as was the [[U.S. Navy]] in the [[War of 1812]]. | '''Frigate navy''' is a term describing a [[nation state]]'s [[navy]] that is made of mostly [[frigate]]s or [[destroyer]]s as a major combat force.

Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Frigate navy is a term describing a nation state's navy that is made of mostly frigates or destroyers as a major combat force. This navy would thus be lacking large vessels such as cruisers, a significant number of effective submarines, or aircraft carriers, but it would also be more effective and deployable than a navy that just maintains corvettes or gunboats. A frigate navy can be a green water navy or a brown water navy, depending on how logistics are structured. The Royal Netherlands Navy is an example of a frigate navy, as was the U.S. Navy in the War of 1812.
