The guided-missile frigate USS Taylor shares the pier with USS Constitution at the Charlestown Navy Yard with the Bunker Hill Monument in the background. Taylor begins a five-day St. Patrick's Day weekend port visit to the city of Boston. During the visit, the crew participated in several events including a march in South Boston's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, honor guard duty at the Boston Bruins professional hockey game and a community service project at the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.
