What is the oldest commissioned vessel in the United States Navy still afloat?

The USS Constitution sailed its maiden voyage on July 22, 1798, and is one of the six original frigates built for the U.S. Navy. Long since retired from official battle duty, the USS Constitution now serves to educate citizens on the role of the Navy in the military. Visitors can see the vessel at the Charleston Navy Yard.
