| | USS Constellation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Three ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Constellation, in honor, according to the US Congress, of the "new constellation of stars" on the flag of the United States. |
 | | The original Constellation, a 38-gun frigate, was the first ship to be commissioned in the United States Navy; the first US Navy vessel to put to sea; and the first US Navy vessel to engage, defeat, and capture an enemy vessel. |
 | | Also in Star Trek, a Constellation class of starships existed, of which Captain Jean-Luc Picard's former ship, USS Stargazer, was a member. |
