Fitted out at Norfolk, Virginia, Rodgers began training in Chesapeake Bay in mid-April. On 24 April 1898, the United States Congress declared war on Spain and five days later the torpedo boat got underway for the Caribbean. Arriving at Key West on 9 May, she joined the blockading vessels off Havana on the 21st; remained with them through the 23rd; then sailed to join the fleet cruising off the north coast of Cuba to prevent the Spanish fleet from reaching the blockaded city from the east. Employed primarily as a dispatch boat, she returned to Key West in early June, only to depart again on the 15th to carry mail to the fleet convoying Major General Shafter's army to Santiago. Making rendezvous on the 16th, she remained with the force until the 21st when she moved along the coast to Guantan

  • Fitted out at Norfolk, Virginia, Rodgers began training in Chesapeake Bay in mid-April. On 24 April 1898, the United States Congress declared war on Spain and five days later the torpedo boat got underway for the Caribbean. Arriving at Key West on 9 May, she joined the blockading vessels off Havana on the 21st; remained with them through the 23rd; then sailed to join the fleet cruising off the north coast of Cuba to prevent the Spanish fleet from reaching the blockaded city from the east. Employed primarily as a dispatch boat, she returned to Key West in early June, only to depart again on the 15th to carry mail to the fleet convoying Major General Shafter's army to Santiago. Making rendezvous on the 16th, she remained with the force until the 21st when she moved along the coast to Guantanamo Bay to deliver dispatches. On the 22nd she returned to Santiago for picket duty at the harbor entrance, but returned to Guantanamo Bay for repairs 23 June – 22 July. A short dispatch run preceded another repair period, 24 July – 14 August, by which time Rodgers had received orders back to the United States. At Hampton Roads by the 26th, she continued on to New York, arriving on the 31st for a yard overhaul.
