USS Constitution

The USS Constitution is a location initially in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston in Fallout 4.

Background
The ship is run by a crew of robots led by a Sentry Bot named Captain Ironsides. NX-42 rocket engines are fitted to both sides of the ship. The ship then attempted to take off but ended up landing on top of the Weatherby Savings & Loan, just north of Boston.

Layout
The ship can be boarded by either going to the second floor of the building the ship rests on, and then entering an access door in the hull of the ship, or by using the elevator to the ship's stern (back) to access the top-deck directly. The inside of the ship consists of three decks filled with supplies and items along with several turrets, protectrons, and some Mister Handies located throughout.

Below decks, the ship has a weapons workbench, an armor workbench, a chemistry station and a cooking station. On all decks except the top deck, all items are marked as owned, meaning one will be attacked upon taking them. This also counts for anything that is placed in a container. Only items that are stored in any of the workbenches or stations, or are on the top deck, can be taken without risk of consequences. The captain's quarters (Master locked) come with a full bed which can be used after completing Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution.

Behind the scenes

 * "Bosun" is the pronunciation of the naval term "Boatswain."

Bugs

 * It is possible to get stuck on top of the captain's table. If wearing power armor, the player can exit their suit but cannot move off the table while still inside.
 * Companions will recite their respective dialogues about the USS Constitution over and over, every few moments, while in the area.
 * It is possible for several waves of scavengers using raider character models to spawn inside of the ship on one of the upper decks.
