Cruizer and Cherokee mainly made the list by sheer populations. :)
There were also the sloops Erie, Ontario, and Argus. They were considered a different class but appeared identical to Wasp, Peacock, and Frolic above the waterline. Argus was burnt in Washington to prevent capture. Erie and Ontario did not see action in the War of 1812 due to blockades but did participate in the Second Barbary War of 1815.
