A Heavy Frigate is Royal Caledonian Navy parlance for a ship equivalent, in Imperial Navy parlance, to a Heavy Cruiser.

In Caledonian practice, Heavy Frigates serve as the screening force for Battleship squadrons. The role includes:

  • Jumping in advance of a Task Force to cover its Jumping In point
  • Covering a Task Force during jumping-out
  • Covering a Task Force's battle squadron's flanks during fleet action
  • Providing close reconaissance for the Task Force.
