The USS Constitution was launched on Oct. 21, 1797, in Boston on this day in history. She went on to a legendary career in naval warfare, earning the famous moniker Old Ironsides.
"Huzzah, her sides are made of iron!" — American sailor in War of 1812 "The USS Constitution earned 33 victories at sea, with zero defeats." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
She serves the United States as a reminder of the fight for national sovereignty, a symbol of our unique-at-the-time constitutional foundations and as the centerpiece of the USS Constitution Museum.
