 The British produced larger, 38-gun, and slightly smaller, 36-gun, versions and also a 32-gun design that can be considered an 'economy version'.The 32-gun frigates also had the advantage that they could be built by the many smaller, less-specialised shipbuilders.Frigates could (and usually did) additionally carry smaller carriage-mounted guns on their quarter decks and forecastles (the superstructures above the upper deck).
