| Summary/Abstract |
In 1907 President Theodore Roosevelt deployed a great white fleet of 16 modern battleships around the globe to demonstrate America's arrival in the world sea-power arena. The voyage heralded America's turn to "big stick" naval diplomacy, and the fleet's com-position reflected the premium on capital ships advocated by the 20th centaury's most influential sea-power theorist, Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan.
