BOSTON, Massachusetts - The USS Constitution, the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat, has returned to Boston's waters.
The undocking of "Old Ironsides" on Sunday marked the end of restoration work that started two years ago, officials said. A celebration was held at the USS Constitution Museum.
The wooden ship was launched in 1797 and earned its famous nickname notching victories in the War of 1812.
