USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate
of the United States Navy. Named after the Constitution of the
United States of America by President George Washington, she
is the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat in the world.
In July 1828, she was due to be taken provisionally out of service
then the government decided that she should be scrapped. However,
the poet Oliver W.Holmes of "Old ironsides" successfully
won the case to preserve in the frigate. Launched in 1797, Constitution
was one of the six original frigates authorized for construction
by the Naval Act of 1794.
Constitution's mission today is to promote understanding of
the Navy’s role in war and peace through educational outreach,
historic demonstration, and active participation in public event
