Four ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Maine, named for the 23rd state:
Maine (i/ˈmeɪn/; French: État du Maine) is a state in New England, in the United States. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 42nd most populous of the 50 U.S. states. It is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the east and north, respectively. Maine is the northernmost state in the contiguous United States east of the Great Lakes. It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially lobster and clams. In spite of its maritime position, it has a continental climate even in coastal areas such as its largest city, Portland. The state capital is Augusta with a population of 19,136 (2010), making it the third least-populous state capital (after Montpelier, Vermont and Pierre, South Dakota) in the nation.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European encounter, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in Maine was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years.
The USS Maine is the most technologically demanding and complex machine built by man. This allows the submarine to only be found when it wants to be.
In our exploration of False Flags throughout history, we look at the sinking of the USS Maine. Was it an act of Spanish aggression, or a false flag used to cover US imperialism?
Deadwood Historic Preservation Finds a 1898 relic from the USS Maine Battleship
When Teddy Roosevelt sent the USS Maine into Havana's harbor in 1898, he hoped that the show of force would help protect the lives and property of American citizens in the restless Spanish territory. But when the Maine mysteriously exploded and sank at anchor, the nation was shocked and demanded revenge. Ultimately, its destruction led to the Spanish-American War.

The Uss Maine is one of the most famous ships in American history but for all the wrong reasons. A symbol of naval strength in the late 19th century, the Maine's tragic fate is taught to students across the nation not just because it was a disaster but because it is associated with the most notorious examples of yellow journalism in the country's history and ultimately brought about a war, despite the fact it's still unclear what caused the ship's explosion. In 1898 one of Spain's last possessions in the New World, Cuba, was waging a war for independence against Spain. Though Cuba was technically exempted from the United States' Monroe Doctrine, since Cuba was...

I have always wanted to get a little closer look at the sign at remember the maine. The other day I did.
In 1898 The USS Maine exploded in Havana Cuba harbor sparking the Spanish American War. US citizens were outraged and companies seized the opportunity to turn out commemoratives all types. The Flaccus food company was a leader in marketing their products in these unique containers. Come on in and sit at the dinning room table to look back to 1900 and compare the different Maine battleships!
Documentary History Channel - The Spanish American War History Channel Documentary 2015 HD The Spanish–American War (Spanish: Guerra hispano-estadounidense or Guerra hispano-americana) was a conflict fought between Spain and the United States in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor leading to American intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. American acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions led to its involvement in the Philippine Revolution and ultimately in the Philippine–American War. Revolts against Spanish rule had been occurring for some years in Cuba. There had been war scares before, as in the Virginius Affair in 1873. In the late 1890s, US public opinion was agitated by anti-Spanish propaganda led by journalists such as Jos...

El hundimiento del Maine en la noche del 15 de febrero de 1898 precipitó el desenlace de la tensión existente entre España y los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica.
Ein Kriegsschiff der US-Marine explodiert im Hafen von Havanna. Nein, kein Flugzeug der AlQaida flog da hinein. Aber schwimmende Minen gab es damals schon, also war es eine spanische Mine, spanischer Terror. Das war der willkommene Grund, mit Spanien Krieg anzufangen, wodurch die USA Weltmacht werden konnte. Über 100 Jahre wurde davon ausgegangen, dass eine spanische Mine die Explosion der USS Maine verursachte! Über 100 Jahre lang wurden andere möglichen Ursachen als "Verschwörungstheorien" abgetan! Altbekannte Taktik. Nun hat sich eine "Verschwörungstheorie" bewahrheitet: Die US-Matrosen waren einfach nicht in der Lage, nicht gebildet genug oder so, mit der ihnen anvertrauten Technik dieses Kriegsschiffes umzugehen. Keine spanische Mine! ...

Броненосный крейсер "Рюрик" бросает якорь в западном бассейне. Вместе с ним еще десяток кораблей российского военно-морского флота. Русские не стреляют, не блокируют гавань и даже не сходят на берег. Договор с Китаем об аренде южной части Квантунского полуострова еще не подписан. Но аргументы империи с суммарным водоизмещением в сотню тысяч тонн действительно железные.

German submarine U-110 was a Type IXB U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine that operated during World War II. She was captured by the Royal Navy on 9 May 1941 and provided a number of secret cipher documents to the British. U-110's capture, later given the code name "Operation Primrose", was one of the biggest secrets of the war, remaining so for seven months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was only told of the capture by Winston Churchill in January 1942.German Type IXB submarines were slightly larger than the original German Type IX submarines, later designated IXA. U-110 had a displacement of 1,051 tonnes (1,034 long tons) when at the surface and 1,178 tonnes (1,159 long tons) while submerged.[1] The U-boat had a total length of 76.50 m (251 ft 0 in), a pressure hull length of 58.75 m...
Роден съм в черна немотия
тъй както дядо ми и аз!
Баща ми също бе от тия
родените в злощастен час!
Отдавна мъката е с нас
и както моите деди!
В бедняшки гроб ще легна аз!
Над мене няма герб да бди!
Отдавна мъката е с нас!
Родените в злощастен час!
