Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Navy at War
The Fleet was at its secret rendezvous Base to which it had sailed from Hampton Roads on April 3, the day after President Wilson delivered his war message to Congress.
Base 2 was Yorktown, Va., one of the most historic spots in America, and our battleships were in sight of the place where Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington. They rode at anchor in the waters where the timely arrival of De Grasse's ships assured the success of the war for American independence.
