BOSTON (WHDH) - Members of the State Police Dive Team got a close look at a piece of American history Friday when they assisted the U.S. Navy with a hull inspection of the USS Constitution.
“The underwater inspection of the oldest commissioned warship was done in preparation for her leaving for a training mission,” state police wrote on a post on the agency’s Twitter page. “Not a bad morning at all!”
The post featured photos of dive team members posing in front of Old Ironsides and in the water inspecting the hull.
The MSP divers seen performing the inspection are Troopers Robert MacAleese, Jonathan Fleming, Evan Breeding, and John Strazzullo.
Assisting from MSP Marine 44 were Sgt. Patrick Foley, commander of the dive team, Sgt. Scott Sawicki, and Trooper Jason Macomber.
