Yes I know about Glatton - she was a two deck ship (fourth rate 56) and so not a frigate. But the idea of having a full set 68 pounder carronades on the gun deck, and a full set of 42 pounders on the upper deck - that's some weight of metal!

So who is it in the Guardian that thinks there's a crow's nest on a naval vessel? Hands to witness punishment...
