We don’t have to get ready if we stay ready. 😎 USS Constitution Sailors recently trained at the Naval Firefighting and Damage Control School in Newport, Rhode Island—working alongside fellow Sailors to battle controlled fires and sharpen critical firefighting skills. Damage control is more than just a training requirement—it’s a core responsibility. Protecting the ship, preserving life, and ensuring mission readiness all depend on the crew’s ability to respond in an instant. From learning how to contain and extinguish fires to understanding how to control flooding, these skills are essential for every Sailor aboard Old Ironsides. As the oldest commissioned warship afloat, USS Constitution is a symbol of resilience—and it’s the dedication, training, and readiness of her crew that keeps that legacy alive. #USSConstitution #DamageControl #NavyTraining #OldIronsides #AmericasNavy250
