'''USS ''Constitution''''', one of the original six ships of the fledgling [[United States Navy]] and the only surviving one, is a three-masted sail frigate of 44 guns opened to the public at the former Boston Navy Yard in Massachusetts. ''Constitution'' bears the distinction of having the most ship-to-ship victories of any ship in the Navy; one of which earned for her the name "Old Ironsides" after sailors observed cannonshot bouncing off her hull.
