Connecticut Navy Flagship Ends World Voyage Pride
The pride of Connecticut ends its service as the great battleship Connecticut is decommissioned and headed for the junk heap. Since its launch in September 1904 it served as Atlantic fleet flagship, guided Roosevelt’s world voyage, aided Messina after the earthquake, and carried about 80,000 troops home after World War I. Now retired, the ship may be displayed in a naval yard before eventual dismantling.
