Talk:List of Russian steam frigates

Old talk

To Petri Krohn. Thank your for the additions.

Only one note. Of course, "Gaidamak" was the prototype for the "Abrek", but most part of new-designed ships of XIXth c. had their prototypes, often — in the other fleets. F. e. British "Bellerophon" (1866) was the prototype of Russian "Kniaz Pozharskii" (1867), "Nile" (1886) — of "Navarin" (1891) and so on... But term "prototype" is not the sufficient reason for listing the ship in list of concrete class of ships (at least in XIX c.) due to many differences. "Abrek" was not built according the drawings of "Gaidamak", both ships had different displacement (1069 vs. 1094 tons), dimensions (61 vs. 65 m length), strength and arrangement of their armament (2 8-pound rifled + 3 60-pound vs. 4 4-pound rifled + 3 60-pound guns). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonid Kharitonov (talk • contribs) 14:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Paddle corvette of the Siberian Flotilla

Amerika \ «Америка» (steam corvette) - Built 1855 by William H. Webb Yard (Yard No. 99). On December 24, 1883 (January 5, 1884), the corvette "Amerika" was excluded from the lists of the Navy of the Russian Empire due to old age and put into storage. In 1884, "America" was sold at auction. The new owner used her as a yacht, but on one of the voyages, she fell apart, after which her wreckage was burned. Vrangel Bay (talk) 08:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
