What it concludes

The US Navy owns Naval Support Activity Crane in Indiana to harvest white oak timber specifically for repairing the USS Constitution.
White oak heartwood develops tyloses that provide rot resistance and water tightness, making it superior for boat building and barrel making.
In 1976, the Navy designated 150 trees in Crane's forest to be grown, maintained, and harvested for future USS Constitution repairs.
