  • The United States Navy never forgot the humiliation paid upon its western coast by the British Pacific Squadron during the Second Mexican War (1881-2). The Royal Navy had sailed from its Pacific base at Pearl Harbour, Sandwich Islands, and raided the major US Pacific City of San Francisco. After defeating the US Pacific Squadron, the RN was able to blockade the entire US Pacific coast for the duration of the conflict. By 1914, the US Pacific Fleet had been steadily rebuilt into a worthy fighting force with one goal in mind: capture the British naval base of Pearl Harbour. With control of these islands, the US Navy would be able to protect its own west coast, and take the offensive in the Pacific Ocean. As the crises of August 1914 began to steadily worsen, the US Pacific Fleet put to sea. Three of its four main squadrons set sail for the Sandwich Islands, while the fourth, the Seattle Squadron, remained behind to deal with the combined British and Canadian fleet up in Vancouver and Victoria.
