The American frigate, Randolph, was the first frigate launched for the American navy. In 1778, she engaged the British navy ship of the line, Yarmouth, off Barbados. Vastly outgunned by the more powerful British, the Randolph sank on March 7, 1778, when a cannon shot probably pierced her powder magazine causing her to explode with the loss of all on board save four.
