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.
