the USS Constitution deserves its fame and reputation after my presentation.
Diagram
General KnowledgeLaunched in 1797, the U.S.S Constitution was the first ship
commissioned by the United States Navy.Builder was Edmund Hartt Shipyard, the same shipyard who built
USS Boston, USS Argus, and USS Independence. The USS Constitution cost the U.S Navy $302,718 (1797 dollars) It’s well known as the “Old Ironsides”The USS Constitution served in the Quasi war, First Barbary War,
and the War of 1812.450 officers and enlisted, including 55 Marines and 30 boysHomeport: Charlestown Navy Yard
Characteristics of USS ConstitutionLength of the boat: 204 ft (62 m) at waterline its 175 feet
(53 m).

Quasi WarQuasi War was the war between French Republic and the U.S.
The USS Constitution was the main service of the war under
Lieutenant Isaac Hull, who captured the French privateer Sandwich
in the harbor and spiked the guns in the Spanish fort.
First Barbary WarThe First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the
Barbary Coast War or the Tripolitan War, was the first of two
wars fought between the United States of America and the
North African Muslim states known collectively as the
Barbary States.
The USS Constitution did not play a major role in the war,
the USS Constitution just went to a few sea battles.
The war of 1812The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of
the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The
Americans declared war in 1812 for a number of reasons, including a
desire for expansion into the Northwest Territory, trade restrictions
because of Britain's ongoing war with France.
One of the most famous battles that the USS Constitution fought with
the HMS Guerriere and was very victorious. This was
important ,because it heart the British Navy.
Does USS Constitution really deserve its fame and reputation?For All those famous battle that USS
Constitution fought I think the USS Constitution deserve its fame and reputation.
ThemeI think my project fits the theme of Challenge
because United states has the challenge of building a strong navy or even organize a navy.
