Chester A. Arthur modernized the U.S. Navy during his presidency, which lasted from 1881 to 1885. His administration emphasized naval reform and expansion, leading to the establishment of the Navy's modern battleship program. This modernization effort included the construction of steel warships, such as the USS Maine and USS Texas, reflecting a shift towards a more powerful and technologically advanced naval fleet.
