美國軍艦緬因號 (U.S.S. Maine) 沈沒了
1898215

你有沒有玩過戰艦遊戲?你必須要猜中敵艦藏在哪一個字母底下,才能擊沈敵艦。只靠猜測來擊沈一艘軍艦是相當困難的,即使是遊戲也一樣。 

嗯,那麼如果你知道自己的戰艦已經沈沒了,但是你得猜測是誰擊沈了這艘軍艦,那又是怎麼樣的情況呢?這就是發生在1898215日的情景,當時一場爆炸使得美國軍艦緬因號在古巴哈瓦那外海沈沒了。


Have you ever played the game Battleship? To sink your opponent's ships you have to guess where the ships lie on a grid of numbers and letters. It isn't easy to sink a battleship just by guessing, even in a game.

Well, what if you already knew that your battleship had sunk, but had to guess who sank it? That is what happened to the United States on February 15, 1898, when an explosion sank the U.S.S. Maine in Havana, Cuba.
