USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy, named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America. She is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat. Constitution was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed.
In 1794, the first six commissioned ships in the new United States Navy were known as sailing frigates, a class of ships that became the backbone of the Navy. Since then, frigates have been redesigned and commissioned from the 1960s through the 1980s, with 23 vessels still in active service.
