List of Captain class frigates
The Captain class was a designation given to 78 frigates of the Royal Navy, constructed in the United States of America, launched in 1942–1943 and delivered to the United Kingdom under the provisions of the Lend-Lease agreement (the program under which the United States of America supplied the United Kingdom and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and 1945), they were drawn from two subclasses of the American ''Destroyer Escort'' (originally ''British Destroyer Escort'') classification; 32 from the ''Evarts'' subclass and 46 from the ''Buckley'' subclass.
==Naming==
It was the intention of the Admiralty that these ships were to be named after Captains that served with Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar but as building continued, it became necessary to delve back further into history for names of Admirals and Captains of reputation.
Sixty-six of the 78 frigates bear names that had not previously been allocated earlier Royal Navy ships. ''Lawford'', ''Louis'', ''Manners'', ''Moorsom'', ''Mounsey'', ''Narborough'', ''Pasley'' and ''Seymour'' had been previously used for destroyers during World War I.〔 ''Rupert'' was the fifth of that name since 1666.〔 ''Torrington'' was the fourth of that name since 1654.〔 ''Holmes'' had been used once before in 1671〔 and ''Fitzroy'' had previously been used for a survey vessel in 1919.〔
