<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 26767837, member: 81991&quot;]USS Constellation is a sloop-of-war, the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy. She was built at the Gosport Shipyard between 1853 and 1855. She was named for the earlier frigate of the same name that had been broken up in 1853.</p><p>&nbsp;So you are aware, there is a USS Constellation docked in Baltimore Maryland. It is the Sloop of War Constellation (1854) and not the Frigate Constellation (1797). For a while there was a belief that they were one in the same through an extensive rebuild. But later on through intensive research it was determined that the original was broken up in 1853 and the one currently in Maryland is the Sloop of War USS Constellation (1854) was built close by as her substitute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
