History meets the future in Boston Harbor! ⚓The U.S. Navy welcomes the newest Virginia-class fast-attack submarine, named USS Massachusetts (SSN 798), into the fleet while the oldest commissioned warship afloat, USS Constitution, renders honors in the background. One photo that highlights centuries of naval excellence.

SSN 798 is the eighth vessel named for the state of Massachusetts, with the first two dating back to the early 1790s as ships of the U.S Revenue Cutter Service, the precursor to the Coast Guard. The last ship named Massachusetts was a South Dakota-class fast battleship that commissioned in 1942 and participated in nearly every major Pacific campaign from 1943 to 1945. USS Massachusetts BB59 received 11 battle stars for her World War II service. The battleship was decommissioned in 1947 and is now preserved in Fall River, Mass., as a museum and memorial to those who gave their lives in World War II.
