Best Answer

The USS Maine with Captain Sigsbee commanding did not participate in the Spanish American War. The battleship was anchored in Havanna Harbor when it blew up. The cause of the explosion is still not certain, but it was a catastrophie. The unexplained explosion was used as a catalyst to precipitate the US and Spain into a war.
