Edited by Recon Number 54: 3/28/2013 5:30:37 PMNear the end of his presidency, Theodore Roosevelt had a large portion of the USN capital ships painted white and sent them on an "around the world tour" with stop-offs at nearly every major power's main ports. It was billed as a "goodwill tour" but had many, many ulterior and political purposes. At the time (over 100 years ago) an "around the world cruise" was not a simple thing and demonstrated serious "blue water" capabilities, a global distribution of bases and logistical capability, and what we now refer to as "force projection capacity". It also gave the Navy the ability to evaluate their current designs (which had some flaws) and use the lessons of this cruise to better design the next-generation of combat ships. It was "saber-rattling with a smile". A way for the (then, almost a joke when it came to international power) US to say "hi there, you may think that we're a bunch of farmers, but we can dance with the big boys if we have to".

Edited by DarkestSeptagon: 3/28/2013 5:38:47 PMThanks. I think the US and SK are just being logical. I would start training my forces for an invasion if I were in the situation with NK threatening to nuke SK and the US.

If this isn't a troll, stop texting in class and pay attention.
-
Good thing I don't have anybody to text. I'm guessing it's part of US history. I'm taking US history honors next year so I don't know what it is.

This is like middle school history.
-
In his defense my school never talked about the white fleet. Ive looked it up in the past but I never heard about it in middle or high school
-
That's some sub par teaching.
-
The only history my middle school taught was world history. Not every school is the same. End of discussion.

This is false. You should be learning more than World History in the 3 years Middle school takes to complete.
