Non-European frigates and ships of the line

Did non-European states outside the United States and Ottoman or Mediterranean powers build European-style frigates and ships of the line?

Yes, including some South American examples, but they were uncommon until European warship exports expanded sharply in the ironclad era.

The panel answers that European-style frigates and ships of the line did appear outside Europe, the United States, the Ottoman Empire, and the Mediterranean powers named in the question. South American states provide some of the examples the speakers recall. They emphasize that the sailing-era group was not especially large. The more visible global pattern came in the ironclad era, when European yards increasingly supplied modern warships to customers around the world.
