BOARDING TRADITION - The USS Constitution's boarding pike team demonstrates an early 19th century drill that sailors and Marines used to repel enemies from boarding the ship during a re-enactment of the ship's battle against the HMS Guerriere at Charlestown Navy Yard, Mass., Aug. 15, 2008. More than 65 guests and military officials joined the captain and crew for this second annual observance of the battle. U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Brian M. Brooks
