| 説明 | The USS Constitution was one of the first six frigates, built in the 1790s, when the newly independent United States needed a navy to protect its merchant fleet. Thanks to the high quality American oak and an innovative keel design, the Constitution is still an active United States Navy vessel, over 200 years later. In fact it is the oldest actively commissioned and functional warship in the world; while the British Royal Navy's HMS Victory is older, it is not capable of actual service.The Constitution gained its fame during the War of 1812, when it engaged in battle with HMS Guerriere and came out unscathed, forcing Guerriere to surrender. The robust construction of the ship meant enemy cannon fire simply bounced off the hull. As a result, the ship gained its popular nickname "Old Ironsides," even though it is not an ironclad.The cannon deck, which is accessible only via guided tours every 30 minutes. |
