What is the name of the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat?
Correct answer: USS Constitution
KevT42
The original USS Enterprise in Star Trek was a Constitution Class starship. They used names from real ships.

I think HMS Victory is the oldest still in Commission.
DM Doms
HMS Victory is the worlds oldest commissioned warship launched in 1765. It is in Portsmouth dockyard in Hampshire England. whenever another warship leaves harbour it salutes Victory.
Lady V
It is incorrect, it's the oldest WARship yes, but oldest vessel would be the HMS Victory
Roo
HMS Victory is the oldest warship still commisioned, however it is in a dry dock and not afloat which is what the question asked. I worked on it as an electrical fitter. There's a plaque on the deck stating: "Admiral Nelson fell here." I'm not surprised, I fell over it myself! 😏

Lady V,
As HMS Victory is the Flagship of Admiral Nelson and the platform for the victory at Trafalgar, which was probably the most decisive naval action ever , why do you think it is not a WAR ship.
Note : Nelson and his sailors destroyed the French Fleet without losing a single ship.

DM Doms, Victory is in a dry dock, so not afloat

Key word is afloat.
GeneralFitzgibbon
cocopop219, Nope, the HMS Victory is, but it isn't afloat.

Lady V, I thought victory, but isn't she in a dry dock and therefore wouldn't be classed as "afloat"?

words matter, this is trivia. I'm guilty of misreading and getting the answer wrong or rushing my answer before reading the question and getting the answer wrong
Bill
Last I knew, it was docked in Boston, not Baltimore.

cocopop219, however, it cannot sail on the high seas.

Player #31783476, Probably because the creators of the game are in the US.
Player #31783476
Another wrong answer! Why does “the world” in here just seem to be the US?

cocopop219, But not afloat

Lady V, the oldest vessel is a 10,000 year old canoe in a Dutch Museum.
GeneralFitzgibbon
DM Doms, but it is not afloat like the Constitution is.
GeneralFitzgibbon
Nope, the Lady Rose is the oldest Warship.

HMS Victory is the world's oldest.
