Having said that, I don't think one can argue against the USS Constitution
for best of the wooden sailing ship era. I don't know if comparing Constitution to carrier Enterprise is even fair given the differences in how naval battles were fought from one century to the next. Enterprise didn't really have to face Japanese vessels barrel to barrel like Constitution did. Given the fighting styles, I might be inclined to give the nod to Old Ironsides.
