USS Connecticut (BB-18) [SEP] Introduction
USS "Connecticut" (BB-18), the fourth United States Navy ship to be named after the state of Connecticut, was the lead ship of her class of six battleships. Her keel was laid on 10 March 1903; launched on 29 September 1904, "Connecticut" was commissioned on 29 September 1906, as the most advanced ship in the US Navy. "Connecticut" served as the flagship for the Jamestown Exposition in mid-1907, which commemorated the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown colony. She later sailed with the Great White Fleet on a circumnavigation of the Earth to showcase the US Navy's growing fleet of blue-water-capable ships.
