The wreckage of a Federation New Orleans-class frigate
In starship classification, a frigate was a fast, medium-sized starship intended to protect other vessels.
In the 2260s of the alternate reality, information on Starfleet operated frigates was located in the Federation database. (Star Trek Beyond)
Frigates were mentioned in a list of Starfleet vessel types, which appeared to the left of the personnel file for Balthazar Edison. [1]
During the 23rd and 24th centuries, Starfleet employed vessels designated as frigates. (DIS: "Brother", TNG: "Conspiracy")
