The famed "Old Iron- sides," which fought more than 40 engage- ments, greeted the newest addition to the fleet 183 years to the month since her launching October 21, 1797, in Boston. The ceremony was believed the first time in her history that the Constitution officially partic- ipated in the commissioning of a Naval ves- sel. The Morison, designated FFG-13 and delivered 13 weeks ahead of schedule by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, is a jet- powered, guided-missile frigate designed for defense against submarines, aircraft, and surface ships.
