If that is the case, I'll leave it up to you whether you think it's worth the trouble.

So... I went and dug out the new Constitution Maya file, brought in the steamship parts, upscaled them, removed the main hatch and boats, removed the hidden cannons, modified the path, and exported the affected models...
... then copied the locators from the Constitution hull over to the new hull, and removed the obsolete cannon and parts locators...
... then went and modified the code so the ship uses the Constitution walk file, increased the cannons quantity to include the chasers, changed the flag code to match the Constitution...
... THEN adjusted all the particle effects coordinates to compensate for the enlarged hull...
... and ended up with this:
And as a special bonus - not that it was the whole point, or anything - the spanker sail works!
I've bundled together the US_SteamFrigate and modified code here: US_SteamFrigate_New.7z
I need a break now, so if you could handle the renaming and HEX editing for the FR and RN versions, that would be great.
Phew, that was a mouthful, wasn't it?
You managed to ALL THAT in ONE DAY? A Wizard Did It indeed!
No problem; I can handle the HEX-ing.

Actually it must have taken around two hours, or so. Everything was going smoothly, for once, except when Maya 5.0 gave me a scare because it refused to save the file several times.You managed to ALL THAT in ONE DAY? A Wizard Did It indeed!
What was particularly helpful was that the hull exported to GM without any issues. I fully expected it to be unreadable in TOOL, but somehow it worked. As you said, must have been magic.

Har har har.
Just to contrast with your wizardry. Couldn't resist, mate. 't Was just too convenient a joke not to make.Har har har.
Already long-time done.
Still need to give 'em a little test though.
True. Because I only put the files in there and didn't check them yet. Been busy doing all sorts. Will be done. Some time.
Just tested the improved ones and they work brilliantly. That spanker sail behaving properly really helps a lot!
Also noticed that the RN and FR versions had US planking on the rigging. Fixed now, will be in the final Beta 2.5 release. -
