  • If vehicles (Including war machines) were conscious then the USS Constitution has witnessed her country evolve her navy from iron and wooden ships, to ironclads, to dreadnoughts, to high tech battleships and aircraft carriers and submarines. USS Constitution, USS Monitor, USS Arizona, USS Enterprise and USS Gerald R. Ford will always be icons of the U.S Navy.
  • I like how the artillery rounds sound virtually the same when firing; just at different distances. Back then, naval warfare was essentially floating land warfare.
  • Native American oak trees provided the wood that deflected British cannonballs. They really did bounce off the sides of the ship.

    I cant wait to see her today since she's alive and well in stored I might go to her home for vacation so I can see her for the first but that history has almost brought me tears because that's the most iconic ship in history to ever the great war since 1939 to 1945

    I'm pretty sure if they just slap some sails on her she can sail on her own
  • @mikearakelian6368
    Doesn't it bother anyone that Constitution can't maneuver on her own???. No competent crew on board with ship handling skills; wtf???
  • Just saw this when we where walking along the path didn’t except to see this very loud
