- The Coventry-class frigates were 28-gun sixth rate frigates of the Royal Navy, principally in service during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War. They were designed in 1756 by Britain's Surveyor of the Navy, Sir Thomas Slade, and were largely modeled on HMS Tartar, which was regarded as an exemplar among small frigates due to its speed and maneuverability. The 1750s were a period of considerable experimentation in ship design, and Slade authorized individual builders to make "such alterations withinboard as may be judged necessary" in final construction. A total of twelve Coventry-class frigates were built in oak during the Seven Years' War. Eleven of these were ordered from private shipyards and built over the relatively short period of three years; the twelfth was completed following the close of the War in a royal dockyard after its original contractor became bankrupt. A variant was designed for building with fir hulls rather than oak; five vessels were built to this design, all in Royal Dockyards. these five vessels differed in external appearance to the oak-built frigates, as they had a square tuck stern. The use of fir instead of oak increased the speed of construction but reduced the frigate's durability over time. More than a quarter-century after the design was produced, two further oak-built ships to this design were ordered to be built by contract in October 1782. One of these was cancelled a year later, when the builder became bankrupt. (en)

Principalement en service pendant la guerre de Sept Ans et la guerre d'Indépendance américaine, elles sont conçues en 1756 par l'arpenteur de Marine britannique Thomas Slade, qui s'inspire largement du alors considéré comme un exemple parmi les petites frégates en raison de sa vitesse et de sa maniabilité. Les années 1750 sont une période d'expérimentation considérable dans la conception des navires, et Slade autorise les constructeurs à effectuer « toutes les modifications intérieures jugées nécessaires » lors de la construction finale.
