Fleet To Sail From Hampton Roads In Historic 1907 Cruise
Rear Admiral Hobley Evans leads a large fleet from Hampton Roads on December 18 for a major Pacific cruise ranked among the navy’s most important. The United States asserts no hostile motive toward Japan as the force spans battleships and cruisers, with a grand review planned by the president. The Connecticut and other battleships depart from Brooklyn and Norfolk, while squadrons under Thomas Emery and Byerly deploy with a mix of ships, auxiliary vessels, and extensive coal and supply runs to Magdalene Bay as the voyage spans months for about 15 000 personnel.
