Because of its age and wartime history, the three- masted Constitution is a national treasure. The U.S. Navy keeps the ship seaworthy (SEE wur thee).
In fact, the Constitution is the oldest commisioned (kuh MIH shund) warship still afloat. That means she has a crew of U.S. Navy sailors and she can sail. A tugboat takes the old frigate (FRIH gut) for harbor cruises about three times a year.
The Constitution has also made brief sails on her own, the last in 1997.
