The Wyoming Sailors and the Happy Ship Legend
Laurence J. Dooley recounts the U. S. Wyoming flagship of the Pacific fleet, laid 1910, christened 1912, famed for a contented crew and storied World War I service. From New York yards to North Sea patrols, the ship’s fame grew through gunnery, open-doors Britain, and a morale boosting newspaper, the Wye News, published aboard. The piece recalls battles, mutinies quelled, royal visits, and a concluding voyage to the Pacific under Admiral Coontz, ending with the ship’s enduring chorus of praise for Wyoming and its crew.
