Her steel hull was fitted with a rant bbw. She had two compound overhead beam re- ciprocating engines rated at 5,000 horsepower. AuXbiiery sailJpower was supplied by a bark rig spreading 14,000 square feet of canvas. Her steel hut. was built .n many water-tight compartments and she was illuminated throughput 'with Edis- on's new electric system. A steel protective deck C4 inches maximum thicknessj covered her ma- chinery space, curving down at the sides to below her waterline. The first CHICAGO was initially armed with four 3-inch Mark II .30 caliber breech-loading riflesg eight 6-inch Mark II .30 caliber breechload- ing riflesp two 6-pounder Hotchkiss rapid fire guns, two 1-pounder Hotchkiss rapid fire guns, four 47-mm heavy nfafchinellgounsg two 37-mm heavy machine gunsg and two 45-mm Gatling guns. Her boat armament included two 37-mm Hotchkiss machine guns and two 45-mm Gatling guns. When Secretary of the Navy John D. Long organized a Squadron of the Evolution to cruise in European waters, CHICAGO was designated flagship. Rear Admiral john G. Walker was ap- pointed to this important command. He broke his flag as Commander-in-Chief aboard CHICAGO at the New York Navy Yard on 1 October 1889. Other initial ships in the squadron were protect- ed cruisers ATLANTA and BOSTON, and the recently-built YORKTOWN. They would cap- ture the imagination of the world as the famed White Squadronff a title supplied by their ap- pearance after their outside hulls were painted white down to the waterline. The pride of the United States Navy, CHICA- GO, led her Squadron of the Evolution from Bos- ton in late 1889 to give the maritime nations of Europe visual knowledge of rising United States seapower.

She departed the next day for New York. ,-.ff .. ,- ' . ix 4-'lx . I 11. Qvvr fl' N T P, J' l St' ' z 1 h L K , 1-5s 2.53 g i . 477 ig., ,Q in I . V1 li .L 5 .5 4 '.
