Episode 31 of Know Your Ship! In this educational video I cover the USS Olympia. She was a protected cruiser that served with the US Navy from 1895 until 1922. She is most famous for being the flagship for Commodore Dewey during the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. Her actions during that battle increased the standing of the United States Navy in the eyes of the European powers at the time. The USS Olympia is currently a museum ship, the oldest steel warship in the world. However, she is in a poor state of repair. Get to know this ship and if you have a chance, pay her a visit before she is lost forever.
