Explores the history of the US Navy's 11 new steel warships, built during the late 19th century to advance American naval supremacy.After the American Civil War, the powerful US Navy was allowed to decay into utter decrepitude, and was becoming a security liability. The three protected cruisers Atlanta, Boston, and Chicago were the first steel warships built for the US Navy, whose 1880s-1890s technological and cultural transformation was so total it is now remembered as the "New Navy". In 1883, Congress approved four new steel-constructed vessels called the "ABCD" ships.
These 11 protected cruisers formed the backbone of the early US steel navy, and were in the frontline of the US victory in the 1898 This small fleet was joined by a succession of new and distinctive protected cruisers, culminating in the famous and powerful Olympia.
