The successful completion of the cruise

Incident from either a naval or political
point of view. Is regarded by all nations
as history-making. Never before has any
battle command made such a long and
practically continuous voyage. Never be
fore has any fleet circumnavigated the
globe, whether In one or separate voy
ages. Never before has any armada of any
of the countries of the world visited so
many ports, at such great distances, In
so many countries, and under so many
flags. And never was any naval command
received with such universal manifesta
