Can you own a frigate?
A player can own up to 30 frigates once they command a freighter. The frigate fleet is controlled by the Fleet Command Room, located on the freighter that commands the fleet. Building more than one Command Room allows the player to have multiple active missions with different frigates at once.

Why does the navy not have a frigate?
Why The U.S. Navy Hasn’t Operated Frigates (Since Now) The main reason behind that question is the limited capabilities of a frigate compared to other warships like destroyers or cruisers. The US Navy is a blue-water navy as it deployed part of its fleet all around the globe.
A frigate (/ˈfrɪɡət/) is a type of warship. The term was generally used for ships too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed.
Arleigh Burke class destroyers are the bulk of the US Navy: 1.843 Billion dollars apiece. 62 are active and I think there are a few more scheduled to be built. There is a new Zumwalt class stealth destroyer with tons of modern tech advances undergoing acceptance trials. You don’t want to know how much those cost.
How much does it cost to build a frigate?
The Royal Navy’s Duke class was priced at around £130m per vessel, while the much anticipated Type 31 frigate was estimated in 2017 to cost around £250m per unit, according to a UK Government fact sheet . The German Navy’s Sachsen class is one of the most expensive frigate classes, costing around €2.1bn ($2.4bn) for the three ships in total.
The Navy in 2020 plans to buy its first new, 5,000-ton missile frigate with 32 missile cells. The original plan was for the Navy to buy 20 frigates to complement 33 lightly-armed Littoral Combat Ships, ultimately giving the Navy one more small surface combatant than it required under the 2016 force-structure assessment.
What is the difference between a destroyer and a frigate?
…and faster. Frigates are generally slower than destroyers although in modern times there is not a significant difference. One of the faster frigate ships is the Indian Navy’s Shivalik class that is touted to travel up to 32kn (59km/h) at max speed, while others range between 26-30kn (48-55km/h).
