Too funny!
She is a beautiful ship. Considerably smaller design than the somewhat (17 years difference) USS Constitution tho. Too bad that, if they go to Boston next year, Constitution will be in drydock and they cant berth together for comparison pics. The pics from the recent visit of the Charles W Morgan there really showed just how big Constitution and the other Humphreys 44s were.
Those were great ships. Outgunned anything they couldn’t outrun. Gave the Brits a series of nasty shocks in 1812. They weren’t used to losing single ship battles.
