Leviathan Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 "USS Constitution defeated both HMS Cyane and HMS Levant 201 years ago on this day! This was her last victory of the War of 1812 and the last time she engaged in active combat during her long career. The battle is depicted here in a mid-19th century oil painting by Ambroise Louis Garneray in our collection. #onthisday" Credit to the USS Constitution Museum for this https://www.facebook.com/USSConstitutionMuseum/photos/a.250239815624.170660.152972665624/10154022421965625/?type=3&theater 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magee Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Great picture, also to note that the Constitution is the only commissioned US Navy warship to sink a enemy ship in battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
