None. The ship that exploded in Havana Harbor on 15 February 1898 was a US ship named the USS Maine. It had been in port for three weeks in case an evacuation of American civilians living there was required. The mysterious explosion which caused the sinking remains of an unidentified origin. America did not blow up the USS Maine. Spain probably did not blow up the USS Maine but it was blamed for it.
