Commander Crystal Schaefer previously served on board the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77).
She is a native of Medford, Wisconsin, and a graduate of the University of Minnesota.
The USS Constitution is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for public visitation and is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat and America's Ship of State.
She played a crucial role in Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, and actively defending sea lanes from 1797 to 1855.
The active-duty Sailors stationed aboard the USS Constitution provide free tours and offer public visitation as they support the ship's mission of promoting the Navy's history and maritime heritage and raising awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence.
