Cool!   :cool:    Constitution and Constellation - would love to see them sail together again!    :)   

I don't think they ever sailed together.  Constellation was built in 1854, after Constitution had left active service (though she was a training vessel at Annapolis in the 1850s, so it is remotely possible they were underway at the same time in the same area; however, the Constellation was in the Med most of that time).

They just finished a year-long refit of the Constellation, she looks gorgeous now.

And I am betting they tried to make her look more like the original USS Constellation than 1797 Connie herself looked!  :lol:

It always amuses me that Baltimore keeps trying to pretend that theirs is the first Connie, not the second.

"So maybe she is 10% longer now; ships grow longer over time... yeah, that's the ticket!"
