🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from USS Constitution! 🇺🇸 USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, got underway in Boston Harbor today to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Happy Birthday, America!

America's 250th isn't just a celebration—it's a reminder of what's worth defending. For 250 years, Sailors answered the call to protect our Nation, and today that legacy continues. Take a “Minute with the CNO” to hear why our mission begins with the people who make it possible.

For 250 years, we have been a world-class fighting Navy, and our strength lies in our Sailors. Adm. Daryl Caudle and MCPON John Perryman honored our maritime heritage in Boston this week by visiting the Navy’s oldest commissioned warship - USS Constitution.

USS Constitution and her crew are preparing to represent two and a half centuries of service and tradition in Boston Harbor.  Every detail helps ensure America’s Ship of State is ready for this historic event on July 11. HUZZAH! #OldIronsides  #BostonHarbor  #America250

As America approaches its 250th anniversary and Sail250 draws near, USS Constitution continues to represent the service, sacrifice, and resilience that have defined our nation for more than two centuries. Today’s underway in Boston Harbor carried that legacy forward. Huzzah!

USS Constitution will be open to visitors May 25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This Memorial Day, America’s Ship of State honors the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Guests are invited to walk her historic decks and reflect on their legacy.

Congratulations to Commander Crystal L. Schaefer, the ship’s commanding officer, on her selection for promotion to Captain. Under her command, USS Constitution and her crew continue to uphold a legacy that spans more than two centuries. Huzzah! #AmericasNavy250 #USSConstitution

A testament to naval superiority meets modern lethality. As the Navy commissioned USS Massachusetts (SSN 798) today, USS Constitution rendered a historic salute. From sail to nuclear power - this moment reflects the enduring strength and readiness of America’s Navy.

Sailors assigned to the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Harvey C. Barnum Jr. (DDG 124) arrived in Boston on March 13 for a scheduled port visit.
