| #6 Sorry Ship, I meant Constellation - part of the display covers the controversy about which itteration of Constellation is the one on display. The current thinking is that at least the keel and some other parts were recycled from the original - thirfty colonials. |

| #5 That would be the Constellation (not the original sister ship to Constituion). |

| #4 The Constitution in Baltimore Harbor has an excellent tour as well. It is now on audio. I make references to the Tripolitan War every time I run into the "no blood for oil" argument. Protecting American trade is one of the bedrock foundations of the USN. |

| #3 LOL tu3031. That happened to you too? Happened to me. I don't think that oak's got any softer with age. |

| #2 Duck your head if you take the tour below decks. I think everybody that served on her was four feet tall. |

| #1 I do love that ship. I still think Jackie Fisher had the Constitution in mind when he invented the lamentable battlecruiser, he forgot the ironsides part. |
