there are some great ship photos out there. I was looking for something else when I came across this. I will save them for later.

Also not pictured: people who don't understand the chemistry of a diesel combustion cycle.

Sorry to break rules 1 & 2 but Diesel engines smoke when under heavy load, get over it. People who get their engines to smoke for no other reason than to be obnoxious are exactly that but annoys the shit out of me when people think that every time a diesel smokes it's because the operator is a douchebag.

Not about the Great White Fleet, but Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors is a great read.

Actually Castles of Steel is not about the American fleet either, but the British/German fleets and battles of WW1
