Frigates could travel long distances faster than many ships. For this reason they were used in exploration. Also, these ships used for communication between several squadrons. However, a frigate, being well armed, could operate independently. Depending on the rank, the ships were armed with different numbers of guns. An average of 40 to 70 guns. Frigates are often used as a protection for merchant vessels from pirates. Frigates are not very difficult to manage, so it is often used for the training of the crew.
