They'll Have to Follow You! The Triumph of the Great White Fleet.
December 16, 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt sent 16 American coal-burning battleships on an epic circumnavigation of the globe. In fourteen months and six days, 14,500 sailors and marines traversed a dozen oceans and seas, crisscrossed the Equator six times, called on more than 30 ports and logged over 46,000 miles.

With the success of the cruise, Theodore Roosevelt announced to the world that America had become a global power.
