The Boston Navy Yard, originally the
Charlestown Navy Yard, was one of the oldest U.S. Navy shipbuilding facilities
in the country. It remains in service today as a Boston National Historic Park,
and home to the USS Constitution (world’s oldest commission naval ship afloat),
and the World War II-era destroyer USS Cassin Young (floating museum ship).
