The USS Constitution, also famously known as Old Ironsides, stands as a three-masted heavy frigate with a wooden hull, a revered asset within the United States Navy. As the world's oldest actively commissioned naval warship that still sails the seas today, its history spans back to its launch in 1797.

This iconic vessel was part of the initial set of six frigates sanctioned for construction following the Naval Act of 1794, and it was the third to be crafted. The selection of the name "Constitution" was made from a list of ten suggestions proposed to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March of 1795, specifically for the frigates intended for construction.

Engineered by Joshua Humphreys, these frigates were designed as the flagship vessels for the fledgling Navy. Consequently, Constitution and its sister ships were larger, more robustly armed, and sturdily built compared to the standard frigates of their era. Its construction took place at Edmund Hartt's shipyard situated in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. Initially, its primary responsibilities were safeguarding American merchant ships during the Quasi-War with France and engaging and defeating the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War.
