The ''Seringapatam'' class frigates, were a successful class of British Royal Navy 46-gun sailing frigates. The first vessel of the class was HMS ''Seringapatam''. The ''Seringapatam's'' design was based on the French frigate ''Président'', which the British had captured in 1806. The ''Seringapatam'' was originally ordered as a 38-gun frigate, but the re-classification of British warships which took effect in February 1817 raised this rating to 46-gun. The Admiralty ordered six further ships to this design - including three ships which had originally been ordered as Leda class frigates, but the ''Seringapatam'' design was subsequently altered to produce a Modified version which was labelled the ''Druid'' sub-Class, and three of the ships formerly ordered to the ''Seringapatam'' original design (''Madagascar'', ''Nemesis'' and ''Jason'') were re-ordered to this modified design. Subsequently a further modification of the design was produced, which was labelled the ''Andromeda'' sub-Class, and the remaining three of the ships formerly ordered to the ''Seringapatam'' original design (''Manilla'', ''Tigris'' and ''Statira'') were re-ordered to this modified design. Further vessels were ordered to both modified designs, but the majority of these were subsequently cancelled.
