An American battleship. It is famous for the explosion that was one of the causes of the Spanish-American War. Launched in 1895. Overall length 98.84m, beam 17.37m, displacement 6650t. On January 25, 1898, it entered Havana port to defend American interests in Cuba, but on the morning of February 15 of the same year, it exploded and sank, leaving 260 dead and 47 injured. The cause of the explosion is unknown. At the time, Cuba was in the midst of a prolonged civil war against Spain, and criticism of the inhumane acts of the Spanish military in Cuba was growing in the United States. This incident further stimulated sympathy for the Cuban people and calls for intervention in Cuba, leading to the start of the Spanish-American War in April 1898. Maine |
