YORK, Penn. (Sep. 14, 2009) A boarding pike team from USS Constitution demonstrates at the York Fair the techniques early 19th-century Sailors employed to repel enemy boarding parties from naval vessels. This is one of 22 Navy Weeks across the continental United States in 2009, coincided with America's oldest fair that was first held in York in 1765, and that now draws 600,000 visitors a year.
