Seringapatam‘s design was based on the French frigate Pr\u00e9sident, which the British had captured in 1806. Seringapatam was originally ordered as a 38-gun frigate, but the re-classification of British warships which took effect in February 1817 raised this rating to 46-gun.Table of ContentsClass and subclasses[edit]Ships in the class[edit]Druid sub-class (1st modified version of Seringapatam Class)[edit]Andromeda sub-Class (2nd modified version of Seringapatam Class)[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Class and subclasses[edit]The Admiralty ordered six further ships to this design \u2013 including three ships which had originally been ordered as Leda-class frigates, but the Seringapatam design was subsequently altered to produce a Modified version which was labelled the Druid sub-class, and three of the ships formerly ordered to the Seringapatam original design (Madagascar, Nemesis and Jason) were re-ordered to this modified design. Subsequently, a further modification of the design was produced, which was labelled the Andromeda sub-class, and the remaining three of the ships formerly ordered to the Seringapatam original design (Manilla, Tigris and Statira) were re-ordered to this modified design. Further vessels were ordered to both modified designs, but the majority of these were subsequently cancelled.
