"Old Ironsides" is a museum piece. A fully operational museum piece that
actually sails every few years, but a museum piece nonetheless. Her main
functions are educational and historic, not military.
Her "main function" is to serve as the Flagship of the Navy. That's a military
function, not a "museum" function. Certainly she also serves as a "history
lesson incarnate", but that is not her "main" function. If it were, she'd be
property of the National Park Service, not the Department of Defense.

And to answer the comment of Clown Prince of Spamalot (aka KB9RGZ), many US Navy
ships are not intended to "sail into battle" (a quaint phrase, but it reveals
your ignorance of military matters). YTB's tugs don't "sail into battle",
DSRV's don't "sail into battle", AD's don't "sail into battle", AOE's don't
"sail into battle", AS's don't "sail into battle", ATB's don't "sail into
battle", ARS's don't "sail into battle", in fact CVA's don't "sail into battle",
and no, the USS Constitution will not "sail into battle", but she's still a
fully commissioned ship of the line in the US Navy.

so but the USS Constitution serves NO military function can't even
truly serve as a flag unless they have finaly instaled a radio on
board

all she does is serves as a floating relic of that bygone era

Trying to explain anything to you is much like taking a Neanderthal Man
to a hardware store and expecting him to understand all that he sees.

reealy? you think that?

then you are dumber than I thought
