“The first salute our Navy gave to the doc- ument it defends was the building of the frig- ate U.S.S. Constitution in 1794. This was one of the greatest ships ever built, and she could outsail, outmaneuver, and outfight any ship of her time. She earned the nickname " Old Iron- sides " when connonballs bounced off of her twenty-inch thick oaken hull. Her 2200 tons could plw through the waves at over 14 knots. The U.S.S. Constitution has proven to be as durable as her namesake, and both have weathered the storms of the last two hundred years remarkably. The ship is still a com- missioned ship in the United States Navy and is on permanent display in Boston. ”
