Ok, this is not a person but a thing, I know not exactly what the title states to post about.
However, I have been in love with the ship the USS Constitution for years, ever since I read it's history back when I was about 10 or 11. It by far was a great ship commanded by captains that understood it's advantages and downfalls and used them as needed. It was an extremely tough ship and she was a beauty to boot. The name given to her in my opinion was predestined for what she was capable of.
Here is just one battle that the USS Constitution was in, this is from wikipedia although, the only thing missing from this and the history of the USS constitution that I read, is the fine details.
USS Constitution vs HMS Guerriere
A frigate sighted on 19 August was determined to be HMS Guerriere, with the words "Not The Little Belt"[Note 9] painted on one of her topsails.[57] Guerriere opened fire upon entering range of Constitution, but Hull held his ship's guns in check until the two warships were a mere 25 yards (23 m) apart, at which point he ordered a full double-loaded broadside of grape and round shot.[58] Over the course of the engagement, the ships collided, and at one point they rotated together counter-clockwise while Constitution continued firing broadsides. Guerriere's bowsprit became entangled in Constitution's rigging. When the two ships pulled apart, the force of the extracting bowsprit sent shockwaves through Guerriere's rigging. Her foremast soon collapsed and it took the mainmast down with it shortly afterward.[59] Guerriere was now a dismasted hulk, so badly damaged that she was not worth towing to port, and Hull ordered her burned the next morning.[51] Using his heavier broadsides and his ship's sailing ability, Hull had managed to surprise the British and to their astonishment, their shot seemed to rebound harmlessly off Constitution's hull. A sailor reportedly exclaimed "Huzzah! her sides are made of iron!"[Note 10] and Constitution acquired the nickname "Old Ironsides". Arriving back in Boston on 30 August, Hull and his crew found that news of their victory had spread like wildfire, and they were hailed as heroes.[60]
is it just me that doesn't read some posts because they're too long?

Each post should have some background and an explanation of why you admire who you put up.
So, you posting in here is just spam and you, I have noticed, are becoming a problem with spam and even instigation in areas. So please, if you have nothing to actually offer to the thread, don't post.
