Ahoy Shipmates

By way of introduction here is an interesting extract:

“The commonwealth of Colorado is to be represented in Uncle Sam's navy by two new cruisers, the Colorado and the Denver. The Colorado will be one of the six ordered by congress during its last session. Her sisters will be the California, The South Dakota, the Nebraska, the West Virginia and the Maryland. They will be the most up-to date fighting machines of their class and will be capable of attaining a speed of twenty-two knots an hour. Each cruiser will cost $4,250,000”

An exert from "The Owl, December 17, 1900" vol 1 No.2" a school newspaper.

I guess the “cats out of the bag” now yes the next few instalments are about the USS Colorado
