    So, I've been comparing some stats... Hunt's 1779 Active is statistically near identical, and the only other Williams frigates I've found are the 1771 Enterprise 28's and 1778 Flora 36's. Could these three form a progressive series of growth in the same basic line? (Going by dates, doesn't look like it--the middle size came first--but maybe a possible fork both up and down?)

    Top to bottom: Enterprise (sorry, this interior view is only elevation presently available), Amazon (again, Cleopatra), Flora, Hermione (again, Andromeda)

    1795-96 Nemesis
    France:

    none none none Spain:
    1797-99 Santa Cecilia

    Right now, my gut feels like give Enterprise a Green or Yellow Light, Flora an Orange leaning Red, and the Active/Hermione family an Orange leaning Yellow. Anyone care to cross-check me here?
