In my experience, the frames are typically spaced where needed. The forward and aft frames are often closer together due to the more complex hull shape.
A typical spacing might be first frame from tip of the bow is frame 0, then 1/2, 1, 1.5,2,4,6,8,12,16,18,22,26.......,48,50,51, stern transom. There are many factors that will determine what each ship will have for spacing. It's best to go by plans if available.
As EJ states, Stations are more equal, but I have seen them vary as well. The Ticonderoga plans I was just looking at had something like fwd pp = 0, then 4', 8', 12', 16', 24', 32', 38', 42', 46', etc... varying from 4' to 8'.
