This is a high res model of the HMS Cerberus, a Coventry class, sixth-rate, 28-gun British frigate, launched in 1758. Her tonnage was 586 76/94, and she measured 118 feet 4 inches (length on lower deck), 97 feet 3 1/2 inches (length of keel for tonnage), 33 feet 8 inches (in breadth at the broadest part of the midships section), and 10 feet 6 inches (depth in hold). She carried a crew of 200 and was armed with twenty-four 9-pounders on the upper deck, four 3-pounders on the quarter deck, and twelve swivels.

The Cerberus participated in key battles in the Revolutionary War, and the Cerberus also participated in the French and Indian War. Later, the Cerberus came close to her demise when she was targeted by perhaps the first underwater explosive mine.
