Totals: 112 SOTL, 36 Frigates >= 30 guns, 51 frigates (20 - 29 guns)

I am not bothering to list frigates less than 30 guns. Obviously there are many more smaller ships of various types and roles, also not worth keeping track of. I probably forgot some SOTL or high gun frigates in the list, if you notice any let me know.
