The Great White Fleet part 2!

Today I learned that The first of these ships were commissioned in 1900, and the most recent of the ships commissioned in 1907.  The displacement ranged from 11,500 tons to over 16,000 tons, the Connecticut class being almost 100 feet longer than the Kearsarge class. I also learned that throughout the entire journey, The navy sent out post cards which provided the people with a way to see all of the wonderful places that the fleet went.
