USS Maine, a second-class battleship built between 1888 and 1895, was sent to Havana in January 1898 to protect American interests during the long-standing revolt of the Cubans against the Spanish government. In the evening of 15 February 1898, Maine sank when her forward gunpowder magazines exploded. Nearly three-quarters of the battleship's crew died as a result of the explosion. This was one of the catalyst for the Spanish - American war.

That pic is totally worthy of a caption contest.
Love the Vitamin Donuts too.
Honestly, my kids already get enough "Pep and Vigor" from the regular kind of donuts!
