U.S.S Constellation constructed in 1854 is a sloop-of-war and the second United States Navy ship to carry this famous name. According to the US Naval Registry the oridinal frigate was disassembled on 25 June 1853 in Gosport Navy Yard in Norfolk, Virginia===== and the sloop-of-war was constructed in the same yard, possibly with a few recycled materials from the old frigate. U.S.S. Constellation is the last sail-only warship designed and built by the U.S. Navy. The sloop was launched on August 26 1854 and commissioned on July 28 1855 with Captain Charles H. Bell in command.

**AFTER**
After being used as a practice ship for Naval Academy midshipmen, Constellation became a training ship in 1894 for the Naval Training Center in Newport, Rhode Island where she helped train more than 60,000 recruits during World War 1.
