    I don't think you'll be disappointed Rob. I'm about to start the chapter 'The 24pdr Fifties', which are the variant I'm most interested in (specifically Portland class), which I'm excited about, but it's been an excellent, if technical and dry, read so far.

    I'm thinking of reading these titles, for the other branch of the evolutionary tree, so to speak, next:
    - The First Frigates: Nine-Pounder and Twelve-Pounder Frigates, 1748-1815 (Conway's Ship Types) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0851776019...v_ov_lig_dp_it and;
    - The Heavy Frigate: Eighteen-Pounder Frigates, Vol. 1: 1778-1800 (Conway's Ship Types) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0851776272...v_ov_lig_dp_it

    Thanks for the info Rhys. Those are a bit rich for my pocket at the monent.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
