Reply to comment by alcapwnage0007 in TIL that after the battle between the USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere, the captain of the Constitution, Isaac Hull, refused the sword of surrender from the captain of the Guerriere, James Richard Dacre, saying he could not accept it from a man who fought so gallantly by alcapwnage0007

The Navy also has multi layered defensive postures. There are few in this world dumb enough to go toe to toe with a carrier strike group. Also the US hasn't fought a war with a country that had a respectable navy since Korea(?).

Pretty cool flex on the part of the Constitution tho.
