In 1907, [[President]] [[Roosevelt]] sent the '''Great White Fleet''' on a voyage across the world. The fleet consisted of sixteen new battleships, all painted white. The voyage took 14 months, from 16 December 1907 to 22 February 1909.
The main reason for the voyage was to show the strength of the [[United States Navy]] to the [[Japanese]] and [[Chinese]]. This happened during a time of tension in the [[Pacific]] between Japan and the [[United States]].
