The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. She was launched in 1797 from Boston, Massachusetts and participated in the the Quasi War with France (1798-1801), the Barbary Wars (1801-1805) and the War of 1812. She received her nickname of "Old Ironsides" when during a battle with the HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812, a sailor exclaimed, "Her sides are made of iron!” after he saw 18-lb. iron cannonballs bouncing off her 25-inch hull.

Greek flag

Esther has posted:

"The flag of Greece (popularly referred to as the galanolefki or the kianolefki, the "blue-white"), officially recognized by Greece as one of its national symbols, is based on nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. There is a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white cross; the cross symbolizes Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the established religion of the Greek people of Greece and Cyprus. According to popular tradition, the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" ("Freedom or Death", " E-lef-the-ri-a i Tha-na-tos"), the five blue stripes for the syllables "Έλευθερία" and the four white stripes "ή Θάνατος". The nine stripes are also said to represent the letters of the word "freedom" (Greek: Ελευθερία). There is also a different theory, that the nine stripes symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization (nine has traditionally been one of the numbers of reference for the Greeks)."
