>what are the chances for a first rate ship of the line to sink a modern frigate? no radars, gps or recon involved
Absolutely zero. The ship of the line would never even be able to accomplish anything useful, even in perfectly calm seas. Any modern frigate can go like, 30-40 knots, and in any direction at any time. A wind propelled ship is fundamentally obsolete even to hyper primitive steam vessels.
Weapon systems just make it more of a joke. Even with pure optical the frigate will have zero issues engaging with the ship from far far far beyond the range of its guns. And a bunch of 24 and 32 lb iron balls would do jack shit anyway. But again it wouldn't even matter. The frigate just keeps range and/or engages from the rear, ggez.

>modern frigates are made out of paper mache
Total fucking horseshit. Where you people pull this garbage from? There is no modern naval ship at all that doesn't have extensive compartmentalization and damage control. Yes, vs MODERN anti-ship weapons some are built tougher than others and some depend more on speed, active defense etc instead of pure armor/durability, but there isn't a single one that would die from small plain iron balls.
