The Wikipedia article said the tubes were sealed before being sold to Taiwan. Without functional torpedo tubes, what is her combat capacity?

Bill

It says that they were sealed, but the article clearly states she's on a near-warfare footing. My guess is-after the sale to 'look right'-the tubes were unsealed and made functional again.

Taipei times said that they tried to reactivate the tubes but it didn't work so it is a training vessel now.

Correct. She's a great ship. I've been aboard her 4 or 5 times. If you visit, take the tour. It's worth every penny....GP

A few years back she was going to sail {towed probably} through the harbor. I won a place on her and was so stoked. But life happened and China told us to come get a little girl that needed a family. I couldn't leave my little girl on her first 4th of July.

The USN has started using the Constitution as a training ship. Candidates for top level chief have to do a class on her where they learn how to sail her. The idea is these chiefs will be training up the next generation of sailors and they give them an opportunity to learn all new skills so they remember it when they start teaching.

If weather permits they sail her around Boston Harbor as part of graduation.

They had a drawing for a place on her for the trip around the harbor. I learned about the drawing form this forum. I put my name in and forgot about till I got a letter informing me that I had a place. A missed opportunity. Visiting Old Ironsides is still on my bucket list. If the family ever gets anywhere near Boston, we'll go.

Was on her many years ago while stationed up at Ft. Devens.
