Colefordian Light Frigate "Malevolence"

The Malevolence-class are another classic workhorses of the Colefordian empire. In the standard configuration, they are constructed for the maximum possible speed out of the hull of this scale, sacrificing the amount of guns. To reach maximally possible speed, they were rigged with ridiculously large jibs and spanker, which gives them quite a chunky appearance.
These ships are built with dual-purpose in mind, they can combine the adequate armament and able to carry reasonable amount of cargo. Though, for this, and for stability reasons, the entirety of the armament was put in an enclosed gundeck.
With the realization that the Colefordian navy can't offer something capable of going toe-to-toe with the Montrian 44-gunner frigates, the old Malevolences were retrofitted to maximimse their armament up to 44 guns, at the cost of speed, any sort of cargo carrying ability and stability. These are known as the Audace-subclass.
In general, the Malevolence-class is pretty successful, offering everything that was required from and a bit more.
