On board, veteran sailor Walter Cronkite, a beloved symbol himself, was allowed briefly to take the helm. Then, seemingly as soon as it had begun, the tow ropes were retied, and Old Ironsides, undefeated in 30 engagements and long the flagship of U.S. naval supremacy, was gently led back to retirement in Marblehead...
