USS Maine (ACR-1) - USS Maine (ACR-1), the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the state of Maine, was a 6682-ton second-class pre-dreadnought battleship originally designated as Armored Cruiser #1. The explosion was a precipitating cause of the Spanish-American War that began in April 1898 and which used the rallying cry, "Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain." At the time, it was used as pretext for war by those who were already inclined to go to war with Spain. The discipline on the Maine was excellent, and regular inspections of coal bunkers for hazards, as well as the implementation of precautions for preventing bunker fires, were diligently carried out under the supervision of the cautious executive officer of the Maine, Richard Wainwright. psychcentral.com /psypsych/USS_Maine_(ACR-1)   (2634 words)

Armored Cruiser The first armored cruiser of the United States Navy was the USS Maine, whose explosion in 1898 triggered the Spanish-American War. She was redesignated as a "second class battleship" in 1894, an awkward compromise reflecting slowness compared to other cruisers, and weakness versus the first-line battleships of the time. The main features of armored cruisers, like heavy guns and greater speed, than battleships, appeared again in the new class of battlecruisers (armored cruisers were the same for pre-dreadnoughts, as battlecruisers for dreadnoughts). www.globalsecurity.org /military/systems/ship/acr.htm   (448 words)

Spanish-american War On February 15, 1898, the American battleship USS Maine in Havana harbor suffered an explosion and quickly sank with a loss of 266 men.
