EDITORS COMMENTS
A Bad Dream for Von Tirpitz: The Launch of 95 USA Ships in 1918 The year was 1918, and the First World War was entering its final stages. On the Western Front, the Allied forces were making significant gains against the German army. Meanwhile, in the Pacific Ocean, a different kind of battle was being waged. The German High Seas Fleet, under the command of Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, had long posed a threat to American shipping lanes. But on July 4, 1918, a bad dream for Von Tirpitz became a harsh reality. In a single day, 95 naval ships, including 14 Wickes class destroyers, were launched from the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, California, USA. This impressive feat marked a significant turning point in the war, as the United States continued to bolster its naval forces to protect its interests and support its allies. Von Tirpitz, a formidable adversary, had long advocated for a powerful German navy to challenge the dominance of the British Royal Navy. However, the launch of these 95 ships was a stark reminder of the United States' growing naval power. The German Admiral must have watched with a sinking feeling as these vessels took to the water, knowing that his dreams of a formidable German fleet were slipping away. This photograph captures a moment in history when the tide of the war began to turn in favor of the Allies. The launch of these ships marked a significant investment in America's military capabilities, and the end of the war was soon in sight. The legacy of this day lives on, as these ships played a crucial role in protecting American interests during the war and beyond.
