SSTF[OC] The USS Constitution, the oldest naval vessel still afloat.
Something_ComplexOldest American naval warship still afloat…
Or any nation as far as sources I have list.
Although HMS victory is the oldest naval vessel in comission
Not afloat though
Do you realize the if they are in comission all that they need to do is put it one whater and then constitution stops being the oldes afloat. So if I can take your title that easy maybe you don’t deserve it idk
Victory would sink if put on the sea.
Over time, repairs have been carried out to maintain her appearance, but not her seaworthyness. In many places, soft wood has replaced hardwood and no effort has been made to ensure she is structurally sound or water tight.

Bro wtf are you talking about, the USS constitution is towed by tugboats in it 1 yearly journey…it’s little more then the victory tbh
Victory would likely sink in the dry dock before the tug could take her anywhere. There has been no effort made to make her float. Hull repairs done over the last few decades have not been made water tight.
