RN:
HMS Collingwood, likely pre-WW1

HMS Collingwood was a St Vincent-class dreadnought battleship built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. She spent her whole career assigned to the Home and Grand Fleets and often served as a flagship. Prince Albert (later King George VI) spent several years aboard the ship before and during World War I. At the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, Collingwood was in the middle of the battle line and lightly damaged a German battlecruiser. Other than that battle, and the inconclusive action of 19 August, her service during the war generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea.

USN:
USS New York (LPD-21) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock.

7.5 short tons (6.8 t) of the steel used in the ship's construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Centre; this represents less than one thousandth of the total weight of the ship. The steel was melted down at Amite Foundry and Machine in Amite, Louisiana, to cast the ship's bow section. It was poured into the moulds on 9 September 2003, with 7 short tons (6.4 t) cast to form the ship's "stem bar"—part of the ship's bow. The foundry workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics," gently touching it as they walked by. One worker delayed his retirement after 40 years of working to be part of the project.

A start cart's hot exhaust was left pointed at a Zuni causing the payload(15lbs of Comp B) to detonate. The 'Huffer Hose' of the MD-3A had been shortened because of damage, which did not allow the exhaust from the Huffer to be far enough away from the ZUNI Rocket.

In 1913, Kaiser and her sister ship König Albert and Strassburg toured the German colonies in South-West Africa. The three ships would then sail to St Helena, then Rio de Janeiro. Strassburg would be detached to visit Buenos Aires before rejoining the two battleships in Montevideo. After sailing through Cape Horn, the Detached Division would stay in Valparaiso for a week.

On the return trip, they would visit Bahía Blanca, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Verde, Maldeira and Vigo. The Detached Division had traveled some 20,000 nautical miles.
