I think the real difference with the American frigates was the use of carronades as secondaries. Constellation had 20 as compared to Sibylle's 12. That's a lot more chewing that can be done at close range.
I think the number carronades on the American frigates make it a challenge to represent them without using carronade rules.
No worries Dobbs I use Carronade rules frequently but thanks for the heads up on the numbers involved.

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.
