‘Old Ironsides’; the USS Constitution?
How did the USS Constitution (the first ship built for the US navy, the oldest commissioned ship still afloat today) get dubbed the nickname “Old Ironsides”??????
USS Constitution was not the first ship built for the US Navy, but she is the oldest ship in commission. She earned her name in battle with a British frigate, when the enemy shot merely bounced off her hull, as if she were made of iron.
BTW. A friend of mine did his two week annual training onboard USS Constitution last year and she is still afloat. She got underway just a few years ago.
