Isn't the hulk of the former heavy cruiser Olympia the only American naval ship of this era still extant? Too bad one of the White Fleet battleships wasn't preserved as a tribute to America's emergence as a world power.

By the way, thank you for your service. My son is on his way to LeJeune in about a week.
Info—if anyone is interested—the January/February 2008 issue of Military History Magazine has a good article about the “Great White Fleet”. Given their leftward editorializing I was surprised they didn’t attack T.R. for being the prior incarnation of GWB. Perhaps Charlie Rangel’s constituency was in a stupor and MH couldn’t get their input for the article.

Interesting the masts on the ships...I guess for signal flags??
