"Strength of Many ... Power of One" is where the Hydra principle ~~lays~~. The Hydra name came from the mythical beast of ancient times. The Hydra was assumed to be a reptilian creature with multiple heads, each with different properties. Legend also states that if you chop off one of its head than two heads will grow back in its place, which means cutting one offensive part, rather than limiting its offensive power, increases it.

"Strength of Many ... Power of One" is where effectiveness of the Hydra principle lies. The Hydra name came from the mythical beast of ancient times. The Hydra was assumed to be a reptilian creature with multiple heads, each with different properties. Legend also states that if you chop off one of its head than two heads will grow back in its place, which means cutting one offensive part, rather than limiting its offensive power, increases it.

Hydra Frigate fleets ~~depend~~ on ~~the number of ships and their offensive capabilities and speed~~ to ~~win their engagements~~. Although this principle is ~~legit~~ for other ship types, ~~the usage of~~ frigates ~~is one of the most effective ways~~ to ~~execute it~~.

Hydra Frigate fleets work in a similar way - by never resting any one aspect of the fleet on a single ship, any 'head' which is cut off always has two more to replace it. Although this principle is legitimate for other ship types, it works especially well with frigates due to their innate strengths and weaknesses.
