According to your link, the museum ship is the Sloop of War, the second USS Constellation, that went after slave traders during the Civil War.
I can't tell at a glance which ship is on your hat, the sloop or the original frigate known as the Yankee Racehorse, because I don't know anything about different sailing ships.
Either way, you're certainly not "stealing valor" by wearing a hat that celebrates these fine ships.
Depending on the situations you could seize the "teachable moment" and tell the person a little about the ship on your hat. "What? Oh this is the famous Revolutionary/Civil War ship, see it's a frigate/sloop with sails. She ran the British blockade/ captured slavers and defended America."
If it's in passing, you could just let it pass. You probably didn't understand the first couple of times, you could pretend you still don't. "Thank you but I'm not military" is an option as well.
It's probably best to avoid sounding like you're making fun of people who join the armed forces.
It's a nice hat!
Its the frigate.
I wouldn't "play along," but but a smile and nod or a simple "thanks" is probably ok.
