A small, fast, and highly maneuverable naval vessel that ranks in size below a frigate. Corvettes were used in the Age of Sail for coastal patrol, minor wars, supporting large fleets, and showing a nation's flag. In the 18th and 19th centuries, corvettes were three-masted ships with square rigging and about 20 guns on the top deck. They were often used as dispatchers between ships in a battle fleet and to escort merchantmen. The term "corvette" may have originated in the 1670s with the French Navy, where documents defined corvettes as ships smaller than frigates.
