Constellation Flag

The first ship of the same name in the U.S. Navy in 1797 was named in honour of the "New Constellation of Stars" on the flag of the United States. The frigate had served until 1853 when the name "Constellation" passed over to a new sloop-of-war that served with the Navy until 1955. Today, it's a museum ship stationed in Baltimore, Maryland.
