Summary edit

Description
English: 090106-N-6544L-166 VALETTA, Malta (Jan. 6, 2009) The guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) sits in port during its visit to Valetta to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the "Great White Fleet," an historic U.S. Navy goodwill voyage around the world that included a stop in Malta in 1909. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt sent 16 battleships, including 14,000 Sailors and Marines on a 14-month journey to demonstrate to the world the United States' friendship and its commitment to enhancing multi-lateral operations. The journey included 20 ports of call on six continents and traveled 43,000 miles. Because the ships were painted white, the fleet was soon known as the "Great White Fleet."
