It's not a commissioned Navy ship. It's a museum ship.

Decommissioned. Last time the name was used was for the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier that finished being scrapped in Brownsville last year.

No, the Constellation is a revenue cutter, not a frigate.

She was not a sister ship to the Constitution. She was authorized by the same appropriations bill as was Constitution and five other frigates. Constellation carried fewer guns, had a smaller displacement, was shorter in length, narrower in beam, and carried a smaller crew then Constitution.

2nd oldest on the active register of Naval ships. The USS Texas is still afloat, but isn’t still on active duty. The USS Pueblo will be until returned to the US.
