Go easy on me. I'm an Airedale after all. I'm putting together a trip to see the U.S.S. Olympia. It will be part of a rambling history vacation including Gettysburg, D.C. and the Smithsonian Air Museum Annex outside of Dulles.

Worth the trip? Was she considered a battleship in her time or a cruiser?
