Information About

Uss Constellation

The original ''Constellation'' , a 38-gun Frigate , was the '''first''' ship to be Commissioned in the United States Navy; the first US Navy vessel to put to sea; and the first US Navy vessel to engage, defeat, and capture an enemy vessel.

The second ''Constellation'' was a Sloop Of War that served from 1855 to 1933 , and is preserved as a National Historic Landmark in Baltimore, Maryland . From 1854 to 1991, the US Navy maintained that the second ship was the same as the first, this resulted in considerable damage to the ship, especially when as a museum ship she was "restored" to her "former appearance" as a frigate.

A Battlecruiser ''Constellation'' (CC-2) was laid down in 1920 but cancelled in 1923 .

The third ''Constellation'' (CV-64) was a ''Kitty Hawk''-class steam turbine propelled Aircraft Carrier which served from 1961 to 2003 .
