Summary

Description The Spanish cruiser Almirante Oquendo as she lies wrecked on the southern coast of Cuba Meadville , circa 1899. She took part in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, fought between Spain and the United States on 3 July 1898. Almirante Oquendo was hit repeatedly by the USS Iowa and driven out of the battle by the premature detonation of a shell stuck in a defective breech-block mechanism of an 280 mm turret. A boiler explosion finished her, and she was ordered scuttled and burned by her mortally wounded Captain Lazaga.
