Named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America, she is the world&#8217;s oldest floating commissioned naval vessel. Launched in 1797, Constitution was one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the <em>Naval Act<\/em> of 1794. Joshua Humphreys designed the frigates to be the young Navy&#8217;s capital ships, and so <em>Constitution<\/em> and her sisters were larger and more heavily armed and built than standard frigates of the period. Built in Boston, Massachusetts at Edmund Hartt&#8217;s shipyard, her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbklrNy1DdldnamVkdW80ODF6dDA0V2dpd3Z6UXxBQ3Jtc0trUmJvSWY0MzdscUtsc2pISm9NbkxXQWZUUEJkUl9HMy1xTUlISVRDbGswMXN0b3F4cGkyZl9MTnUxNFhRNXRIbW9hazlORnh4ellLdEQxY2lPczBpQ2R4YVBqRlVqYjdQTFNYQ1B2OGNJT0R6VmNzYw&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUSS_Constitution&#038;v=q45UbdUuBwY\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/USS_Cons&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CharlieDeanArchives &#8211; Archive footage from the 20th century making history come alive!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Dean Archives Published Jan 1, 2014 USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy.
