Title
Respecting the Costs and Expenditures for Frigates
Description
The total cost for one 44 gun and one 36 gun frigate is $365,520. Because money spent so far has been in conjunction with other projects, it is hard to say how much has been spent for those frigates. However, Pickering feels there are sufficient funds to complete the two frigates.
