Old Ironsides is the most historical of all Naval ships from the USA. It is a national treasure. Thanks! |

The USS Constipation was one of the original six frigates whose construction was authorized by the Naval Act of 1794. Does anybody know the other 5? |

I'm sure I do, whether my mind is up to speed after the rum/lime I've had tonight is another question.
Heavy Frigates ( essentially 4th rates )
*The USS United States ( nicknamed "The Old Wagon" )
WAIT! Am I really drunk, or did you type "USS Constipation" ?!
*The USS Constitution
*The USS President
Frigates-
*The USS Chesapeake
*The USS Constellation
*The USS Congress

With the creation of a navy, merchants of Massachusetts subscribed for he building of the USS Essex, a carronade frigate, and the merchants of Philadelphia subscribed for a frigate named for their city. |

Correct and yes it should be the USS Constitution rather then the USS Constipation. Typo error. |

How about the USS Congress and Constellation? Aren't they part of that group? |
