January 06, 2021BOSTON, Mass. — U.S. Navy Builder 1st Class Hillary Lemelin, a native of Milan, earned her basic interpretive historian qualification aboard USS Constitution, Dec. 28.
Duty aboard USS Constitution is one of the Navy's special programs, and all prospective crew members must meet a high standard of sustained excellence and interview to be selected for the assignment.
"I am honored to be a part of such an amazing crew, and to be an official crew member of America's ship of state," said Lemelin.
The active-duty sailors stationed aboard USS Constitution normally provide free tours and offer public visitation to more than 600,000 people each year as they support the ship's mission of promoting the Navy's history, maritime heritage, and raising awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence.
