Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Back to Hampton Roads: Cruise of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet From San Francisco to Hampton Roads July 7, 1908 February 22, 1919 This book aims to describe and narrate, more or less in detail, the leading events that marked the homeward cruise of the United States Atlantic Fleet from San Francisco to Hampton Roads, by way of New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the Suez Canal, a cruise that extended from July 7, 1908, to February 22, 1909.It is intended to supplement the authors account of the cruise of the Atlantic Fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, published in the book "With The Battle Fleet." These two complete the story of a naval cruise without parallel. When it was decided to send sixteen battleships on a long cruise, the original plan was to despatch them from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, from one American port to another. Whether there was any ulterior purpose, diplomatic or political, in the undertaking, was never revealed by the authorities. Ostensibly it was for strictly naval purposes alone. Second to the despatch of the Fleet was the question whether it should return as a whole or in part to the Atlantic coast, how it should return and when. For military and other reasons the prompt return of at least part of the Fleet was necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
