Commanding Officer, USS Galveston 1913-15
Originally the USS Galveston was listed as Cruiser Number 17.
On 8 August 1921, she was reclassified CL-19. She also intermittently patrolled in the Gulf of Mexico with periodic calls at ports of Florida, Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana. On January 25, 1922 Galveston landed her marine detachment at Corinto, Nicaragua, to reinforce the Managua legation guard during a period of political tension. The end of this service was climaxed by a visit to her namesake city in Texas, where she arrived from Panama 26 August 1923 to represent the Navy at the American Legion convention. She then steamed to the Charleston Navy Yard and decommissioned 30 November 1923. During this last cruise she was commanded by Captain R. E. Pope.
