The USS Alabama seen here in dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was the largest addition to the American Navy in 1900. Like all the battleships bar one, she was named after a State but also her name commemorated the commerce raider that did so much damage to the North. At this time (1900) the Americans began building many more battleships and her shipyards were busy. |
