The Battleship Oregon To Join The Atlantic Fleet-


The war was over before USS Oregon made it to the Atlantic Fleet (she had to sail around Cape Horn). One reason why TR wanted and got the Panama Canal to be built.

Actually the Oregon did join the Atlantic Fleet and was heavily involved in the battle of Santiago de Cuba.

I stand corrected. I know that one ship transferred from Pacific to Atlantic didn’t make it in time.
