They don't make that good a showing in small numbers and close up, but I'm sanguine about the prospects once there are proper fleets, and a few coastal forts etc. Here Orion, Minotaur, and Ajax test the water.

Clearly she no longer resembled an 1805 frigate.

Though she was a former very high level tennis champion; must have been as trim as a frigate in her heyday.
