Boston (August 19, 2022) Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 2nd Class Kimberly Watson, from Hackensack N.J., rings the ship’s bell during a ceremony aboard the USS Constituition. USS Constitution, is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, and played a crucial role in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, actively defending sea lanes from 1797 to 1855. During normal operations, the active-duty Sailors stationed aboard USS Constitution provide free tours and offer public visitation to more than 600,000 people a year as they support the ship’s mission of promoting the Navy’s history and maritime heritage and raising awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence. USS Constitution was undefeated in battle and destroyed or captured 33 opponents. (U.S. Navy Photo by Airman Austin Jean/Released)
