Synopsis
Excerpt from A Naval History of the American Revolution, Vol. 2
A few new Continental vessels went into commis sion or into active service, the most important of which were the frigates Alliance and Confederacy, of thirty-two guns each the first was built in Mas sachusetts, the other in Connecticut. The Confeder acy was a hundred and thirty-three feet long, with an extreme breadth of thirty-five feet, six inches, and was designed to carry twenty-eight guns on the main deck, six on the quarter deck, and two on the forecastle. These ships, which had been authorized by Congress two years or more before, encountered the usual difficulties and delays in getting ready for sea. The Marine Committee in their efforts to expedite matters issued many orders which, owing to slow communication and uncertainty as to the condition of vessels and the state of affairs in dis tant ports, were frequently modified or changed. February 10, it was arranged that the Confederacy, Captain Harding, then at New London, should make a short cruise in Long Island Sound with two vessels of the Connecticut navy. Later she was to join the Queen of France in a cruise along the At lantic coast, in which the Ranger was to take part.
