By 1805 the 44-gun frigate was probably viewed as a failed experiment whilst the 38-gun frigate was viewed as the vessel of the future. Ten years later every navy was building 44-gun frigates and today it is viewed as the symbol of the Napoleonic-era cruiser. This remarkable transformation resulted from the performance of three ships – the Constitution; United States; and President – 44-gun frigates built for the United States Navy between 1794 and 1799. Their victories in the naval War of 1812; as well as their performance against the Barbary Pirates; caught the imagination of the world – and spurred all navies into re-examining the class.
