Command Master Chief Chris Engles and the Honorable Donald C. Winter, Secretary of the Navy, explain the significance of a hand-stitched memento given to the Sailors of the Great White Fleet in the captain's inport cabin aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). President Theodore Roosevelt sent 16 battleships and 14,000 Sailors on an around-the-world cruise to demonstrate the nation's emergence as a world power, Dec. 15, 1907. The ceremony was the first in a series of events to mark the landmark achievement. (U.S. Navy photo)
