I think you are referring to 'The Great White Fleet." It was a fleet of ships that traveled around the world. They demonstrated the might of the American Navy and made it clear that the US was a power to be reckoned with.

The Great White Fleet had nothing to do with the American Revolution. The battleships of the US Atlantic Fleet (16 of them) sailed from Hampton Roads (Norfolk), VA on 16 December 1907, returning there on 22 February 1909, after circumnavigating the globe. The American Revolution occurred between 1776 and 1781 (depending on what you consider to be the beginning; and the treaty that actually ended it wasn't signed until 1783).
Roosevelt was the US president in 1906. He did send the "Great White Fleet" around the world though on a "show of force" to the "Yellow Race", the Japanese (hence the white painted battleships) under the disquise of a "around the world good will cruise." The Japanese had just defeated the Russians in 1905, thus the Great White Fleet show of force cruise. This was to let the "Yellow Race" know that the "White Race" was still a power to be reckened with. See website (or the dictionary) for further information on the "Yellow Peril" of the early 20th century.
