I know the USS Constitution- launched in 1797, is the oldest commiusioned US Navy ship in service today- That makes me wonder- what are the next 4 oldest? Any ships that served in WW1 or WW2 that are still on active duty, even as training ships?

Nope. To my knowladge, the oldest active vessel is the carrier USS Kitty Hawk followed by the Enterprise. Both were commissioned in 1961.
