Black Seas: Frigates & Brigs Flotilla (1770 –1830)
A 3rd rate ship, as defined by the British rating system, was a ship of theline which mounted between 64–80 guns. Usually, this would mean two gun decks.Despite their relative size and power compared to larger 1st and 2nd rates, itwas considered that 3rd rates maintained an effective, perhaps even superiorbalance between sailing ability, firepower and cost.
For a number of nations, 3rd rates were the most popular ship size. Cheaperto operate and easier to sail without the sacrifice of offensive capability, theonly ships a 3rd rate could not single-handedly engage were larger three-deckedships. A large number of 3rd rates were built and employed on a variety ofmissions.
