From the December 7, 2021, WVCB Channel 5 ABC Boston.
The USS Constitution commemorated the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor Tuesday at the Charlestown Navy Yard.
The commemoration included the laying of a wreath aboard the USS Cassin Young (DD-793), a World War II destroyer named after Captain Cassin Young who received a Medal of Honor at Pearl Harbor and was later killed at Guadalcanal.
The Cassin Young is a museum ship today and tied up across from the USS Constitution.
There was a gun salute from the USS Constitution.
The USS Constitution is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat and played a crucial role in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812 and actively defended sea lanes from 1797 to 1855.
