From beyond the grave

I would say that the US is a very weird place, but then I remembered that this

is the flagship of the British Navy. She hasn’t floated for literally 100 years.

So mostly I guess it’s just that militaries are weird.

The USS Constitution is still fully crewed, floats, and occasionally fires a few cannon shots.

Keeping history around isn’t weird. Though I do think it should be contextualized.

Seeing her out of her slip is kind of weird. She was accompanied on either side by tug boats, like an elderly person escorted by nurses or family members fearful they may fall over.

US Navy sails the Constitution up to a Russian submarine.

Fires full broadside.

Refuses to elaborate.

Leaves.
