He made minor adjustments based on the design of the most successful frigate of the Royal Navy in the mid-19th century. Created the Enterprise class, a massively constructed frigate class, with a total of nearly 30 ships, built to cope with wars in Europe and maintain the situation of American colonies. HMS Enterprise was primarily active in European waters before 1781, playing a crucial role in the French siege of Gibraltar against Britain. It successfully detected and thwarted attacks by a new French weapon at the time-the fire ship. Following the end of the siege of Gibraltar, Enterprise underwent new outfitting and sailed to the Americas to carry out missions aimed at suppressing American independence. During this period, it captured some privateer ships and returned to Britain in 1784. In the subsequent two decades, Enterprise undertook various small missions in British waters and was ultimately decommissioned in 1807. As a full structured Plank-on-Frames model kit, we must ensure absolute rigor in research and design. Through extensive searches, we have obtained ultra-high-resolution scans of the original design drawings of Enterprise and its same class vessels, preserved in the UK National Maritime Museum.
