* USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship in the United States Navy. Naval officers and crew still serve aboard her today. The USS Constitution is operated by the United States Navy, a partner to the National Parks of Boston.
* Prior to independence, the colonies were protected from pirates and foreign navies by the British Royal Navy. After independence the USA had to defend itself. In 1794, Congress authorized the construction of the first six warships that became the new United States Navy. USS Constitution was built in the North End of Boston. Construction began in 1794 and Constitution was launched on October 21, 1797.
* The greatest glory for Constitution came during the War of 1812. Constitution's crew defeated four British frigates during three separate engagements. In battle, Constitution earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" because it appeared as if enemy cannonballs could not penetrate the ship's strong oak hull. 
* Charlestown, Boston, Massachusetts
