Captain Matthew Perry acquired his fleet from the United States Navy. He was given command of a squadron of ships, including the steam frigate USS Brooklyn and several other vessels, to carry out his mission to open Japan to trade in the mid-19th century. Perry's expedition was part of a broader strategy to expand American influence and trade in Asia. His fleet set sail from the United States in 1852, arriving in Tokyo Bay in 1853.
