#OnThisDay 1814 Napoleon left France for exile on Elba. On the night of April 28th, Napoleon boarded the British frigate HMS Undaunted at Fréjus on the French coast. It was a 2 day journey (3 in 1815)
He was on Elba a little over 8 months before escaping.

French frigate Cannoniere by Pierre-Julien Gilbert
In 1806 she found herself hopelessly outgunned by the 74-gun HMS Tremendous in the Indian Ocean. Her captain used his ship’s manoeuvrability to damage the much larger British ship aloft to escape

@EdBoy1337 Personaly I’ve never like the frigate designs from the post-war UNSC.
there designs just seem Out of place compared the rest of the UNSC’s navy (especially the weirdly smooth Anlace class)
"The Action and Capture of the Spanish Xebeque Frigate El Gamo" by Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, 1845. It depicts the capture of a much larger Spanish ship by the tiny, 14-gun brig HMS Speedy, commanded by Thomas Cochrane.

#OnThisDay (7 February 1813) The British frigate HMS #Amelia and the French frigate #Aréthuse clash near the Îles de Los, off #Guinea in what became known as The Action of 7 February 1813. Both ships sustain heavy damage but the action effectively ends in a stalemate.

Danish Steam Frigate Jylland (1866), by Anton Melbye art
240 years ago today off the Yorkshire coast, @USNavy demigod #JohnPaulJones in his converted merchant frigate Bonhomme Richard defeated British HMS Serapis in a crazy, plucky, uphill, Horatio Hornblower-esque battle. By coincidence, we visited the old boy at @USNAMuseum yesterday
Aaand the second, another fictional ship for my navy
The Thüring class frigate. I tried to build a DDG, but well...
I don’t know, I personally not like her as much as Weser or Köln (you will see Köln later), but I still like her, if yk what I mean...
And she‘s fast...

I will wait until tomorrow and show the others in detail then, because my internet will be gone soon, but here‘s a pic with all I got until now...
