Named
after the Constitution of the US, this frigate is the oldest floating
commissioned naval vessel. Completed in Boston in 1797, the ship was
built to protect American merchant ships from pirates. It also served in
the war of 1812 where it earned the nickname "Old Ironsides". She was
retired from active service in 1881.
