Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: USS Olympia was a U.S. Navy cruiser, best known as Admiral Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay. The ship had a displacement of 5,870 tons. Construction was begun in 1891, and the ship was commissioned in 1895. The main armament was two pairs of 8-inch (20 cm) guns, fore and aft. It also had ten 5-inch guns.
The Battle of Manila Bay occurred in May 1898, shortly after the Spanish-American War began. Ship for ship, the American fleet was larger and better armed than the Spanish fleet, and it destroyed or captured all Spanish ships in six hours. USS Olympia remained in commission until 1922. It later became a museum ship in Philadelphia. The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, across the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey, is in the background. |
