The USS Constitution, affectionately known as Old Ironsides, is a historic symbol of the United States Navy's early years. Launched in 1797, it is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat. This majestic ship earned its nickname during the War of 1812 when enemy cannonballs were seen bouncing off its resilient wooden hull.
Today, the USS Constitution continues to serve as a powerful reminder of American naval heritage and resilience, housed at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts.

On the top deck but under a temporary roof while they relay all the planks. That is a real US navy person who's just given a (fast) talk.

Both Constitutions were scrapped, and out of 110,000 pounds of aircraft, this ashtray is all that remains.

In early 1942, Lockheed Aircraft began to develop a large, long-range military/commercial aircraft. Other companies, Including Boeing, Douglas, and Convair were also working to fill a need projected for the postwar commercial airline market. Out of Lockheed's efforts came a remarkable white elephant, the Constitution.
Lockheed's earlier commercial, long-range effort, the Constellation, was the most advanced prop liner in the commercial inventories of its day, creating a new level of commercial travel, comfort and safety. To capitalize on the need for newer, long-range and larger-capacity aircraft anticipated by airlines such as Pan American Airways, Lockheed developed the XR60-1 Constitution, a four engine propeller aircraft designed to carry 204 military passengers, or 109 civilian, with 58 in sleeper compartments. Lockheed's effort was sponsored by the Navy, with technical assistance from Pan American Airways. The final design first flew on November 9, 1946.
The Navy eventually acquired two Constitutions. They were assigned to Transport Squadrons VR-44 and VR-5. They proved to be underpowered and were never able to fly with a full design load. When the Navy ran out of spare parts, the aircraft were mothballed to Arizona. In 1955, the two Constitutions were sold as surplus for $98,000 each. One was eventually purchased by George Crockett, who used It as a unique billboard for his Alamo Airways at McCarran Field. It was a local fixture for many years, until finally scrapped in the late 1960s.
