Which ship was nicknamed Old Ironsides?
The heavy frigate, USS Constitution, launched in 1797, earned the nickname 'Old Ironsides' after the battle with the HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812. This is a reference to "Old Ironsides," a colonial era battleship which is docked in Boston Harbor. If I recall correctly, this battleship never lost in combat and has lasted more than 200 years, thus an "old Ironsides" reference would suggest that whatever/whoever it is being compared to is stalwart and resilient. It is true that "Old Ironsides" had not lost in combat, but the hull had deflected a bullet, and it's crew members gave it the nickname 'Old Ironsides,' crediting the USS Constitution with having an "iron" hull.
