Dreadnought New York Joins Great Fighting Fleet
The article extols the battleship New York sent to the Mexican theater, noting its Brooklyn Navy Yard construction, 12.5 million cost, 28 000 horsepower engines, ten 14 inch and twenty-one 8 inch guns, 27 000 tons displacement, and crew of about 1100. It highlights Admiral Winslow’s command, preparations for voyage to Newport and Norfolk, and a forthcoming Texas duplicating the ship, all reflecting strong American naval patriotism during looming Mexico tensions.
