On April 14, 1914, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet was ordered to Vera Cruz with all available battleships. Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger went there in his flagship, the USS Arkansas. Also ordered there were Leon Robinson's ship, the USS Vermont, the New Hampshire, New Jersey, Michigan, Louisiana and South Carolina.
Leon D. Robinson, from Sycamore, Illinois, was aboard the USS Vermont.
We sure had a lot of battleships.
