So how much did a frigate cost in 1780?

I'm a fan of USS Constitution as it seemed overbuilt, which is something I can't usually help but try to do. It's a German thing. lol $300,000 seems a deal, oh for the days before the military industrial complex and airplanes without guns(cause that worked really well in Vietnam) Shhh, treason talk. LMAO

Poor Unicorn looks like a prison ship.

Hah! You can (or could) book it for meetings and weddings and so on. In the same dock is the North Carr Lightship (also needing money)

..and just along the river, the Discovery, of Scott of the Antarctic fame

Blimey, I sound like a tour guide for Dundee.

One thing they have NOT got, is a submarine. There's a memorial but nothing else (and even that is a bit hard to find).

U2326 surrendered in Dundee and some of the officers were taken aboard the Unicorn.
