    Whilst maybe a minor point, the USS Constitution is the oldest afloat, not the oldest commissioned warship, that is HMS Victory. Both incredible ships and well worth a visit when in Boston or Portsmouth. Congratulations to Billie Farrell on her appointment.

    Commander of a floating museum? It sails once in a while but of course it is never in a war zone or doing war duties. So does she get graded in war game exercises or readiness drills? I dont understand how this "command" time will increase her resume.

      Everyone is hand picked for the USS constitution. It is an honor to serve on that ship. Plus, it is America's Ship of State. Essentially, it is the flagship of the US Navy and the only ship of state on the planet. This would be a great command to have.

      it's a standup collar. I would guess it is following regulation dimensions, and possibly, if she is small in stature, features might end up a bit large on her. The epaulettes of that 1800ish era style uniform are insane, though.
