Talk:USS Marcellus

First experiment with coaling at sea
An interesting note regarding the 1899 coaling at sea experiments. While I could find no significant mention of the armored cruiser USS New York (ACR-2) experimenting with coaling at sea, I did find two pictures and one drawing published in different sources that clearly show she did. The November 1899 coaling experiments immediately followed separate testing with a wireless Marconi system, also using the USS Massachusetts (BB-2) and New York.
