Imagine in ww3, you're an aircraft carrier and this thing made you sink
That would be absolutely hilarious, humanity would never let it down and whoever’s Carrier it was would be earth’s new laughing stalk
If the aircraft carrier was made in China, it could probably happen. They make tons of crap products that don’t last every long.
With I well placed hypersonic missle, it probably could.

@@lochness415 name still has nothing to do with that ship
@@lochness415 doesnt sail anymore doesnt count
@Loch Ness: true, Victory is the World's oldest commissioned warship, but didn't she go into drydock back in 1922? Constitution however, is still afloat and occasionally gets underway.
Still, both are fine ships with proud histories. Let us hope they stay in commission long after we are gone.
@@lochness415 Victory is dry docked, Constitution still sailing.
Okay but when will we add thrusters onto this thing and watch it fly into Weatherby Savings and Loan
When it gets manned by robots
Do I smell a reference to a..say vault looking game?
I always side with iornsides
When a nuclear war happens.
When a 240 year old man (only actually lived for 30 of those years) helps the big 3 legged robot wearing a bicorn hat give the thrusters power.
That's how my dad expects me to use things when he buy something
Sounds like a good man.
As you should.
Not joking, save your money and buy quality. It's crazy to buy something and have to just throw it away fairly quickly.

The actual US Constitution (the paper) is only 8 years older than the USS Constitution. So the ship is practically as old as the USA. We should do everything we can to preserve the ship for future generations!
Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice
USS Constitution
I like that they hid the modern cannons inside the old cannons
Ass cool as black powder cannon are they have a high failure rate, and are hard to clear making them very dangerous when they fail to fire. I knew a kid/ young adult who was part of the crew who would fire one at a scout camp during ceremonies. It was only blank firing mind you but something went wrong and it didn't fire during a ceremony. They left it alone until everyone else had gone about their business, and tried to clear it. It exploded injuring the entire crew and the guy I knew fatally. Overall it was a shock as that guy made many friends and most who went through the camp had fond memories of him.
you don't want catastrophic failure using 200 years old gunnery Touma-kun
@@KalinoursEU Dully noted biri biri
So she is a modified ship
@Brad Johnson
She has never been decommissioned. Hence "oldest commissioned warship still afloat."
When you over-rely on radar suddenly this sails up and hits you with a broadside volly.
Why would a wooden ship not show up on radar?
Wooden ship still shows up on radar. Surface radar scans the surface of the water. I know it was a joke, but unless the radar went down, this ship isn't getting close enough to hit anything.
@Direktion YTT electronics have nothing to do with radar signature unless they are electronic jammers
@@JDuBz815 or another radar system. 😋👍
@@Acepilot235 true enough.
As I was extremely interested in the U.S. naval history, I boarded "Old Ironsides" in Boston, MA, in 1968 .
No one should miss the opportunity to go and board her !!!! If not in drydock for repairs, you will find her docked in Boston !!!!!
yeah there was a sentry bot with a cool hat giving me quests
She gave all her victories and her service in combat were amazing she was a high-tech ship of her time she is the heart of the American Navy and the Marine corps she is amazing
Lets just say this is America's most prized naval possession based on sentimental, historic and democratic representation.
Id hate to be the country that thinks it'll be a good idea to destroy the USS constitution to demoralize us.

@@Oscar4u69 but thats the thing, you’re still you. You’ve grown and changed over time but you’re still the same person.
This must be quite the honour to serve on this vessel. Beautiful.
This ship is so beautiful it took my breath away
Fun fact: While the USS Constitution was in active service the sailors serving on it nicknamed it “Iron sides” because they had see. Cannon balls bounce of its broadsides.
That nickname comes from her first engagement.
Its broadsides were what it shot; its sides were what the enemy’s cannonballs bounced off.
@@Egilhelmson
Broadside refers to the ship's sids, more specifically when they are fully facing an enemy. Quite literally the broad side of the ship. Hence "broadside of a barn."
I think I heard somewhere that she's made from American live oak and that's why the British cannonballs bounced off of her.
@@txgunguy2766 the American Frigates in the 1800s were yes made from American trees and yes Oak. Usually much thicker than the Brittish ships since they did not have access to as high quality timber. The American Frigates were 44 guns minimum they were state of the art at the time and were stronger than pretty much any other Frigates at the time basically being able to take on Brittish Ships of the Line. These size Frigates were basically unheard of
My respect to “Old Ironsides” and her crew. 🇺🇸
Isn’t fallout great
I think not many people here are going to get the reference.
My grandfather was once her captain
He was a bit large.

Can confirm Even better in real life
@@JB17521or as a Dutch man, neeh not rly
Shes beautiful!!!. She helped America stop the slave trade in Europe. This made America a role model for the world and what it is today. Thomas Jefferson used her to make us a great country. We owe her more than we could know.
In no way did the USA stop the slave trade in Europe, most countries in Europe had already both abolished the slave trade and slavery itself before the USA really even considered it. Plus in Europe, people actually had compassion for the slaves, but we all know that Abraham Lincoln just wanted more soldiers to fight in the Civil War
Yeah, I was wondering about that statement too. Why would someone think the USS Constitution had anything to do with stopping the slave trade? When the USA was basically the last country with slaves. And it's supposed to be a free country. But blacks & woman have almost no rights. And we had to fight the Civil War to free the slaves & keep the Union of the states.
I agree, she's probably the most beautiful ship in the world.
The Constitution is the only commissioned ship in the US Navy that has sunk an enemy warship in battle. She has her guns and they look brand new.
It took me a sec to realize what you meant
Awesome.! I did not know that.!
Washington spent very big money on USA naval fleet cause he knew we had to be as good as the British or perish.!
Can you explain what the word "commisioned" means to a non native English speaking guy?
@@DavidCardonaESM Commissioned means the ship is still in service of the US navy
@@DavidCardonaESM Comissioned means still in active or reserve status with the US Navy. Constitution is perfrectly maintained and can still sail and she still has guns and they are all real and in functional condition, don't believe they keep any black powder on the ship though except for ceremonial blank firing. The guns are reproductions cast for the ship during her first big restoration.
Just to clear up this is the oldest commissioned warship *still afloat* but HMS Victory is the oldest commisioned warship in the world- but i doubt it still floats 😂( and is in dry dock)
With the latest round of repairs Etc done to her having included hydraulic rams to simulate the ocean, I bet she might actually float, but be a bit leaky. But we'll probably never find out.
@@kimjonglongdong3158 It'd certainly be interesting to see if HMS Victory is still capable of it. But it'll be a full 100 years in drydock for her in 2022, which is kind of insane to think about all by itself. It's absolutely incredible that the Constitution, only 19 years younger than Victory, can still float and sail.
@@Dracule0117 I assume if we had kept her afloat and in pristine condition by replacing her timbers regularly Etc, she could have been kept afloat all this time. I would love to see an alternate universe where she was preserved as well as USS constitution. Seeing them together would be amazing.
Well, HMS Victory did run aground and was left in a Peat bog for a couple hundred years...
@@Dracule0117 its possible... however an elevator was installed inside her, cutting through the hull. Structural integrity was likely messed up by it 😔
Old Ironsides is incredible to see, especially when she comes out of her berth.
It was going to be destroyed & our nation's school kids saved their pennies & saved her.
Go visit her, it will blow you away.
Seeing her on parade, with similar ships from other countries during our bicentennial (1976) was awesome. The others were there to help us 🇺🇸 celebrate. Some were lovely but she towered over them all & sleekly powerful.
That's when I fell in love 🥰
This is the ship on all of our Navy ROTC patches. I had no idea it was still afloat! Truly a testament to her integrity.
You can visit it! It’s open for free to the public in Charlestown right next to Boston, MA. You just have to have an id to get on as it IS an active navy ship
@@ThePuertoRicanGirl57 a few years ago some of the liberal yuppies who live in the converted condominiums by the Charlestown navy yard where the USS constitution is docked had the nerve to petition the navy to stop playing reveille at 7am everyday complaining that it bothered them.They didn’t get their request approved.
@@xxxxxx-tq4mw good.
I’m not all that patriotic, but I wish I could wrap my arms around the mast of that ship at least once in my lifetime.
I owe it at the least that
it’s been a while since your comment, But the USNSCC recently did a plank owner training for Chief Petty Officer leadership Academy on the constitution.
@@xxxxxx-tq4mw I mean, that's pretty annoying and understandable lol. Nothing liberal about it.
Walking across its deck in Boston Harbor really is something, imagining all of those sailors who have walked across the same planks you're standing on
You are one lucky man. I hope to see her and other ships of her time very soon.
Not really the same planks, since only 15% of the ship is original.
@@wonderwongl3528 bah it's the same sentiment
@@wonderwongl3528 still the same ship
I think it's pretty impressive that this ship still has 15% of it's original timber after so many years. That really shows how well it was built and maintained.
I was on her when she sailed to marblehead in 1997 !!! What an awesome experience!!!
Oh yeah, the place with all the old timey robots in fallout 4.

@@KingRDV same here
Yeah!
If I was active Navy this would definitely be the assignment I’d be looking for!
Negative ghost rider
Well
In actual combat it would be the first ship down
@@Orcahhh It is an educational ship, it isn't used, and no country would waste resources to attack a museum ship like this
It is a duty assignment many people want. Boston nightlife and no chance of being shot at. Never have to sail away for 3 to 6 months because she doesn't sail she sits in Charlestown.
@@abuBrachiosaurus I think they would for the moral drop, like say Japan did to Pearl Harbor
And she is still one of the most gorgeous to face the tides. Long may she sail!!!
I love how they pretend to have a footage of the ship directly from 1797
No, this is footage from the early 20th century. Nobody said that in the video what you imply. It just shows how long this ship was in active service.
You're wrong ! That photo is at the Charlestown navy yard in Boston rite next to where she is been kept ! Every year, they take her out and turn her around ,they have been doing that for decades!
Yes lads... " so it was him, the greatest pirate of all time " music starts playing immediately in your head.
I went aboard the Constitution when I was young. She was impressive then and she is impressive now. Her hull is made of oak. She was called old ironsides, because cannon balls would bounce off her hull.
Takes this ship to war:
China: "why do I hear boss music"
*pirates of the Caribbean theme intensifies*
Who flu I mean who knew.
No, it would be the Star Spangled Banner playing
*EAR BLEEDING VOLUME STAR SPANGLED BANNER*

Man, if we ever go to war and have to send the Constitution out on the battle line we're done. That would mean even the WW2 salvageable museum ships like the USS Missouri are gone.
@@jesscolliflower5531 Kung Flu
I wonder how much of her original material is still there after all the refits. Truly a monument to Mr. Humphries design.
I used to go to the Constitution museum all the time with my father in Charlestown! It's a great, interactive experience and definitely shaped my love for the navy.
I’ve been on her twice…Once on Active Duty & the other in the Reserves.
If you ever have the opportunity, please go see her. It’s insanely gorgeous & I was so proud to be a part of the USN.

Thank you for your service in preserving our history.
Ill have to. Midway was cool
i saw this in boston and it’s honestly one of my favorite naval ships, along with the USCGC Eagle. they aren’t very useful ships for causing damage, but they sure are beautiful.
Back in the day this ship was state of the art and out classed any Brittish Frigate and pretty much could take on a Ship of the Line
@@jhtsurvival i meant in the modern era since both ships are in service.
Lol this ship has caused more damage than every active ship combined. Literally the only active ship in the United States Navy to sink another enemy ship.
This ship was over powered back in the day, cannon balls would literally just bounce off the side and the sailors nicknamed it "iron sides"
@@billymanziel5666 meant in the present day
Absolutely the coolest ship ever.
Uhhh Victory exists, Agamemnon, sovereign of the seas or santissima trinidad are all cooler.
Whilst constitution is the oldest ship still in commission that is afloat, HMS Victory is the oldest ship in commission but she is in dry dock in Portsmouth, UK. She was launched in 1765 but commissioned in 1778.
When large repairs were needed on the ship a while ago, the Navy used Live Oak timber from the Florida Panhandle. We were doing construction there at the time and, unfortunately, had to remove some monsterous 400 year old trees. While we tried very hard to avoid cutting as many of those as possible (preserved a vast majority of them), it felt good that the wood from the ones we cut was at least going to a good cause.
She has her own forest in NH
That's pretty awesome. About how many trees you think they used?
@@richardlevangie8733 That is NH White Oak. Planking is of white oak. The structure is high density Southern Live Oak.
Thank you for your work in preserving and respecting the nature!
Constitution Grove located at the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indiana is home to the timber used today for her repairs. NatGeo just did a big piece on it too. Very cool!
That has to be the coolest job in the navy to day!
Some are tour guides, that take people around the vessel with tons of info, it's amazing and exciting for all ages (sound like a pamphlet?)
It is considered a Special Program assignment and has a very tough selection process. If all things work out, I am trying to make it my next and final command prior to retirement.
I’d imagine it’s right up there with the Old Guard of the Army in terms of selectivity and prestige.
My grandpa was in the reserves when 911 happened. He was activated and spent around 5 years in Boston. Most of which he was assigned to the Constitution. He spent 25 years in the navy. And serving on that ship is still some of his favorite memorys. Love him to death.
@@carritrj Thank you for your service!
Just beautiful Old ironsides. God bless the US Navy
So glad they are keeping it in shape. Just beautiful!
It is Beautiful but i dont know why the vid is str8 up lying about it being the oldest commisioned naval ship in the world, thats the HMS victory 50 years older than the constitution and also still commisioned
She is absolutely gorgeous. I am lucky enough to live nearby her. She is stationed in Boston. I was also lucky enough to have earned my first promotion to Airman in the Civil Air Patrol at the same time my Chief got promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. In celebration the squadron promotion ceremony took place on the USS Constitution. We stood amongst the timbers, ropes, and seamen. It was glorious
Nicholas Pratt... go Red Sox!!
The intricacies of the carvings are astounding.. I'll never forget touring the ship.. And bumping my head!
When I saw it sail in 1997 for the first time since 1881 I cried shamelessly like a little girl!!! My father and grandfather were born,lived and died in that time. I have never felt so privileged to be alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s fantastic. Being a west coast guy and went on a cruise out of NY harbor up to Halifax, then down to Saint John, Bar Harbor, Newport, RI, then Boston. Went onto the USS Constitution where a crewman in early 19th century naval seaman’s uniform took us on a tour while the ship was undergoing major repairs.
Purchased an American flag and got to raise it up the flagpole and brought it home, where I proudly displayed it every Holiday until it just wore out.
What a beautiful ship and a fantastic tradition.
I went on a tour of this ship when I was in Massachusetts, I’d definitely recommend it to anybody.
Crazy to think how far naval warfare has come. Antiship missiles, CIWS, air defense missiles, sonar, radar, etc. Imagine someone from 1797 seeing an Arleigh Burke class destroyer
I think most of the relative subtleties of an Arleigh Burke would go right over their heads. Instead, roll the clock back about to the early '90s to the final deployment of the U.S.S. Missouri. A full broadside from the Mighty Mo would make the canon-loving heart of a late 1700's naval officer swoon.
@@Dracule0117 yes
Imagine their faces if they saw a Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier. That would be worth its weight in emotions. Their faces fall off as the watch F-35s and Drones depart from the deck with electromagnetic catapults, up raising rail guns, Raytheon Phalanx six-barrelled Mk 15's, and surface to air missiles.
They could only cry in joy and fear!
Welcome to 21st century war generals.
After being here a week they'd have started recruiting for the 2nd Revolutionary War.

Freedom to buy shares in any company you want... Sheep lead by wolves.
No not really. The very war she fought in was one of territorial expansion and conquest of Canada and the native Americans. The US in the 18th and 19th century didn’t care about freedom, they cared about the destruction and massacre of the natives and the expansion of their own power.

@@finol6127 yet, Noone says how the natives used to massacre each other and also take lands from each other....Interesting

If you think 6 million is alot, with 60 crew, on between 30-50k salary, that's between 1.8mil and 3mil. Then add food, maintenance, ammunition and supplies, you could easily top 10mil per ship.
And to think a pirate could destroy or take them in the early 1700s. It would've been a major blow to the country that shop belonged.

Wow an actual real life ship of Theseus!
I like how it says 1797 and then shows actual old video even though photography and film wasn’t invented until nearly a century later
Forget film and photography. That aerial video at 0:07 🤓 They had drones back then!
You do realise that time and space didn't just stop existing between 1797 and the present, right? The videos could be taken in 1950
The ship has been in existence since 1797. It wasn't filmed then. Duh!
Some people need a walk here.
So we should have been looking at a blank screen then? Do you want to edit the video next time? I actually like seeing some old footage even if it’s not from 1797. Oh wait, you could get a 1988 DeLorean and turn it into a time machine, and then go back in time. No wait, you would have to go forward in time to turn it into a flying car. Then go back in time, no way you would have to also install a Mr. fusion fusion drive in the future. Then, go back in time and take aerial photography of it in 1797. Then you would have to find the guy that posted this video, meet his editor and give him the film. Go ahead and fix it please.
I'll be honest, either I forgot she was the oldest naval vessel in the world or I didn't know altogether. I still vividly remember visiting her as a toddler, which really wasn't that long ago. I'm proud to say that I live nearby so that I can see her in the harbor whenever I'm driving past. Long live the Constitution. Glad to see a video on her after all this time. :)
Not the oldest in the world, just the oldest still in commission that's also still afloat.
