88:. This article is short! As I pointed out on the talk page, there is a lack of any substantial writing that has been done via sources used for this article. In fact, for a change, the DANFS article actually contained more information about her later career than anything else did. There are still gaps in her later career that I'm not sure could ever be filled in without extensive research that goes beyond what is expected for a WP article. Nevertheless, I'm nominating this article for A-class. --
285:"she returned to Boston in April and was ordered to the Washington Navy Yard to be placed in ordinary. En route, she passed Mount Vernon on her way up the Potomac and Captain Sever ordered her sails lowered, flag at half-mast, and fired a 13-gun salute to honor the recently deceased George Washington." Eh? If my geography's correct, one wouldn't sail up a river in Virginia to get to Boston, in Massachusetts.

Excellent article, although I was confused by the beginning of the construction section; I realize you've linked the main article at the start of the section, but to begin with 'The keel of "Frigate F" was laid down' is very confusing as I've no idea what
Frigate F is. Might I suggest a few sentences
294:
Meanwhile the vessels not needed for service in the spring of 1801 were laid up in different ports. The United States, Congress, and New York were ordered to
Washington. The Congress sailed from Boston and " was delayed by head winds, so that we did not reach Washington till late in May. We passed

The article is written about a US Navy ship, therefore having to point out the nationality of other ships of the US Navy isn't really needed. This isn't the case when Royal Navy ships are brought into the article which I have identified by using the HMS
386:. I believe that this article meets the required standard for A-class. Its not as comprehensive as equivalent A-class articles, but as you have said, there is a paucity of sources covering this particular ship. --
203:'recaptured one American flagged ship' - This is rather confusing. I assume it was captured by the British before they recaptured it, but why was it still flying the US flag? Was it some kind of subterfuge?
183:
When ship names are first used, I would suggest placing 'USS' in front of them, like the
Chesapeake in the second section, as it confused me for a second before I clicked on the link.
129:
Your observation was spot on. I realize that I wrote the construction section making a lot of assumptions. I will rework that section and also fix your questions about
Algiers. --
180:'Construction was interrupted in March 1796 upon conclusion of peace terms with Algiers' - Eh? What peace terms, what conflict with Algiers? This section needs some real context!
299:
I'm not a nautical navigation expert but I believe that to get from Boston to
Washington DC by ship you must go from Boston down to the mouth of the Potomac and back up to DC.

Could we have some info, even just a sentence, on what the previous two
Constellations were, since it's mentioned in the lede but not the main article, so far as I can see.

I can't fill in any more gaps from my sources. At this point I think that further research might require a trip to the
National Archives to find the log books of

or records from the various navy yards she was in during that period. But that is research far beyond what is expected for a wp article. --

192:'She was then placed in ordinary at the Washington Navy Yard' - What does 'in ordinary' mean, please? Even just a wikilink would be good.

Hopefully I have clarified a bit further but sources are lacking any detailed description of who had captured that ship to begin with.
