Are Constellation frigates included in the plan's totals?

The late question illustrates an unresolved distinction between American frigate totals and reports of Greek participation in shipbuilding programs.

Question

Are Constellation-class frigates included in the plan's frigate numbers?

Short answer

The exchange remains unresolved: an initial yes is withdrawn, and a proposed explanation involving Greece is also questioned.

Notes

The initial affirmative answer is immediately reconsidered. A recollection that ships were being sold to Greece is then questioned while notes are consulted. The discussion moves between Greek participation in Constellation and another frigate program without settling the names or transaction details. It ends with an explicit need for further checking, so neither inclusion in the American totals nor a Greek purchase is established.
