I read the review earlier and noted a big mistake:
Quote:
|
The act allocated the then-colossal sum of $666,666 towards the construction of six powerful new frigates, four 44-gun and two 36-gun - the United States, President, Congress, Constitution, Constellation, and Chesapeake.

There were three of each:
Constitution,
President and
United States were the three 44s;
Chesapeake,
Congress and
Constellation were the 36s.
