EzraPresident Theodore Roosevelt sought to demonstrate growing American military power and blue-water navy capability.
The Great White Fleet had several purposes. It was first and foremost a demonstration of U.S. Navy strength. Riding high in the wake of the exploits of Adm. George Dewey in Manila Bay and our victory in the Spanish-American War, America was a nation eager to be recognized as a respected actor on the world stage.
Another important objective in Roosevelt's mind was to rally U.S. public opinion in support of the Navy and win over recalcitrant members of Congress who opposed his shipbuilding program.
The tour was also envisaged as a diplomatic outreach to foreign lands, particularly countries such as Australia and Japan, where U.S. Navy ships had seldom gone before.
A final rationale for the world cruise was operational, in order to test the capabilities of the fleet during a time of peace.
