Общие сведения
POWERFUL UNITED STATES BATTLESHIP OHIO (BB-12). The battleship Ohio, recently launched at San Francisco, is the newest pride of the American navy." She is forty feet longer than the Oregon (BB-3) and 2,000 tons greater in displacement. She is twenty feet longer than the Iowa (BB-4) and 1,000 tons greater in displacement than that ship. Her largest rifle will be twelve inches. Her secondary battery will contain sixteen 12-inch rifles. The Ohio's dimensions are: Length on the water line, 388 feet; width, 72 feet 5 inches; mean draught, 23 feet; maximum draught, 25 feet 3 inches; displacement, 12,500 tons; speed, 18 knots; maximum horse power, 16,000; total coal supply, 2,000 tons. She will carry one flag officer, one commanding officer, sixteen wardroom officers, twelve junior officers and five warrant officers. In many respects the Ohio will be the greatest of all marine fighting machines. The works of the ship will of the most approved kind. Her engine room will resemble a great workshop,fitted with the finest tools that can be made. The ship herself, with her windings and alleyways, her broad decks and hundreds of apartments, will be like a small city behind walls of steel. She will have her telephone system, her lighting plant and her water works. In this steel-girt city will be nearly 1,000 incandescent lamps and telephone communications between all parts. The filling of one water-tight compartment at any time need be no cause for alarm. The touch of a button in the central station will close every water-tight door in less time than would take to give the order. Her complement will be about 500 men.

The third Ohio (BB-12) was laid down 22 April 1899 by Union Iron Works, San Francisco, Calif.; launched 18 May 1901; sponsored by Miss Helen Deschler; and commissioned 4 October 1904, Captain Leavitt C. Logan in command.
Designated flagship of the Asiatic Fleet, Ohio departed San Francisco 1 April 1905 for Manila, where she embarked the party of then Secretary of War William Howard Taft, which included Miss Alice Roosevelt, the President's daughter. She conducted t his party on much of its Far Eastern tour of inspection, and continued the cruise in Japanese, Chinese and Philippine waters until returning to the United States in 1907.
Ohio sailed out of Hampton Roads, Va., 16 December 1907 with the battleships of the Atlantic Fleet. Guns crashed a salute to President Theodore Roosevelt while he reviewed the Great White Fleet as it began the cruise around the world which, perhaps more than any other event, marked the emergence of the United States as a major world power.
Commanded by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, and later, Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, the fleet made calls on the east and west coasts of South America, rounding the Horn in between, en route to San Francisco. On 7 July 1908, Ohio and her sisters s haped their course west to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia. On each visit the American ships were welcomed with great enthusiasm but none of their ports of call received them with such enthusiastic friendliness as Tokyo where they anchored 18 October. T he fleet's presence in Japan symbolized both American friendship and strength and helped to ease dangerously strained relations between the two countries.
The fleet put in at Amoy, returned to Yokohama, held target practice in the Philippines and was homeward-bound 1 December. After steaming through the Suez Canal 4 January 1909, the fleet made Mediterranean calls, before anchoring in Hampton Roads 22 Febru ary.
Ohio sailed on to New York, her home port for the next 4 years during duty training men of the New York Naval Militia and performing general service with the Atlantic Fleet.
In 1914 she sailed to the Gulf of Mexico to join in the patrol off Vera Cruz, protecting American interests endangered by Mexican political turmoil. Ohio returned north in the summer for a Naval Academy midshipmen cruise, then joined the Reserve Fl eet at Philadelphia, recommissioning for each of the next two summers' midshipmen cruises, 1915 and 1916.
Soon after the United States entered World War I Ohio recommissioned 24 April 1917. Throughout the war, she operated out of Norfolk, training crews for the expanding fleet, taking part in battleship maneuvers. She arrived at Philadelphia 28 Novembe r 1918; was placed in reserve there 7 January 1919; decommissioned 31 May 1922; and was sold for scrapping 24 March 1923.

Maine class battleships
Displacement: 12,846 tons normal; 13,700 tons full load Dimensions: 394 x 72 x 24 feet/120 x 22 x 7.2 meters Propulsion: VTE engines, 12 boilers (Maine: 24), 2 shafts, 16,000 ihp, 18 knots Crew: 561 (779-813 wartime) Armor: KC & Harvey: 5.5-11 inch belt, 2.75-4 inch deck, 8-12 inch barbettes, 11-12 inch turrets, 2-10 inch CT Armament: 2 dual 12"/45cal, 16 6"/50cal, 6 3"/50cal, 8 3 pound, 6 1-pound, 2 18 inch torpedo tubes (submerged)
Concept/Program: A significant improvement upon previous classes; introduced several new features to US battleship designs. Generally successful, although rapidly made obsolete by the dreadnoughts.
Design: Were considerably faster than previous designs, as a response to the perceived threat of Russian fast battleships. Were the first US battleships to use high-velocity main guns, and the first with KC armor, which allowed equal protection with thinner armor. As with the previous class, there was no 8" intermediate battery. The 6" guns were arranged as in the previous class. The ships were unfortunately rather wet, despite high freeboard.
Modernization: During 1909-1911 the ships underwent modernization as part of fleet-wide improvements; cage foremasts and mainmasts were fitted, and Maine was reboilered. By 1919 all but 8 of the 6" and all of the 3" had been removed, and 2 3 inch AA had been added.
Departure from Service/Disposal: Reduced to training and subsidiary duties by 1915 and were discarded in the post-WWI fleet reductions.

USS Ohio (Battleship # 12, later BB-12), 1904-1923
USS Ohio, a 12,500-ton Maine class battleship, was built at at San Francisco, California. She was commissioned in October 1904 and served along the West Coast until April 1905, when she steamed across the Pacific to become flagship of the Asiatic Fleet. She returned to the United States in 1907 and, late in that year, began an epic cruise around the World with other battleships of the "Great White Fleet". After the this voyage ended in February 1909, Ohio was modernized, trading her white and buff color scheme for a drab, but more practical, grey and receiving the first of what ultimately would be two "basket masts". She thereafter was primarily stationed in the Atlantic, where she served with combat forces and on training duty. In 1914, the battleship participated in the occupation of Vera Cruz, Mexico, and the next year transited the Panama Canal to visit the Pacific Coast.
After the United States entered World War I in 1917, Ohio was employed as a training ship, based at Norfolk, Virginia. Soon after the conflict's end she briefly served as a troop transport, then was in reserve status at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Classified BB-12 in mid-1920, in September of that year she was involved in salvage attempts on the sunken submarine S-5. USS Ohio was decommissioned at the end of May 1922 and sold for scrapping in March 1923.
