What is USS Constellation : from frigate to sloop of war about?

Earlier researchers have argued that there were two ships named the Constellation that served the U.S. navy during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Former naval officer Footner disputes this claim, arguing that it was indeed the same ship that served the navy throughout those periods. He races the history of the Constellation during construction and subsequent modifications and rebuilds. He argues that the evidence shows that the preexisting framing flooring was used in an 1853-54 rebuild and suggests there is little evidence to show that Congress ever authorized a new ship to replace the Constellation .
