HMS Defiant/Damn the Defiant 1962

what was done for the actual physical ship when you see them on deck, in the rigging, etc for this movie?

I know they made a set of 1/8 scale miniatures for exterior filming, but cant find anything on the ship you see the cast using.

A full-size, rebuilt ship, the Marcel B Surdo, was used to represent the HMS Defiant, a mid-size late 18th-century frigate, rather than just sets.

She was featured in several films set in this period but sank at her dock in Tampa, Florida in October, 1981.
