High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Nashville (PG-7), a gunboat, was the only ship of its class. It was the third ship of the United States Navy to hold the name Nashville. Nashville (PG-7) was laid down on 9 August 1894 by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Newport News, VA; launched 19 October 1895; sponsored by Miss Maria Guild, and commissioned 19 August 1897, Commander Washburn Maynard in command. Upon commissioning Nashville joined the North Atlantic Fleet; and, as war with Spain became imminent after the sinking of battlecruiser Maine, she was ordered to the Caribbean. She captured four Spanish vessels during the period 22 April to 26 July 1898, and assisted in cutting the undersea telegraph cable just off the shore of Cienfuegos, where many of her sailors and Marines were honored with Medals of Honor. Nashville remained on duty off Cuba until the war's end.
