The Boston Navy Yard, originally called the Charlestown Navy Yard and later[when?] Boston Naval Shipyard, was one of the oldest shipbuilding facilities in the United States Navy. Established in 1801, the last year of the Federalist Party administration of President John Adams (1735-1826, served 1797-1801), as part of the recent establishment of the new U.S. Department of the Navy in 1798. After 175 years of vaunted military service, it was officially closed as an active naval installation on 1 July 1974, and the 30-acre (12 ha) property was transferred to the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to be part of Boston National Historical Park. Enough of the yard remains in operation to support the moored USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") of 1797, built as one of the original six heavy frigates for the revived American navy, and the oldest warship still commissioned in the United States Navy. USS Cassin Young (DD-793), a 1943 World War II-era Fletcher-class destroyer serving as a museum ship, is also berthed here. The museum area includes a dock which is a stop on the MBTA Boat water transport system. Among local people in the area and the National Park Service, it is still known as the Charlestown Navy Yard.
