The captured former Spanish Second Class Protected Cruiser USS Isla de Luzon pictured in Dry Dock No 2 at Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 6th 1914....She was built in 1886–1887 for the Spanish Navy by Sir W.G. Armstrong Mitchell & Company Shipyards, Newcastle upon Tyne, as a Second-Class Protected Cruiser. She fought in the Battle of Manila Bay in the Philippines during the Spanish–American War in 1898, suffering light damage, and was scuttled after the battle. She settled in shallow water, after which a USN boarding party from Gunboat USS Petrel went aboard and set her upper works on fire. The USN took possession of her, refloated her, towed her to Singapore and repaired her damage. The Spanish 4.7-inch guns were removed and replaced with 4-inch guns mounted on her forecastle and poop. She was reboilered with Babcock & Wilcox boilers in 1911. USS Isla de Luzon commissioned in the US N on January 31st 1900..At the beginning of American participation in WW I in April 1917, Isla de Luzon was stationed at Chicago, as a Training Ship on the Great Lakes. She remained there until September 30th 1918 when she arrived at Narragansett Bay for assignment to the Naval Torpedo Station for duty with the Seamen Gunner's Class. Following the installation of torpedo tubes, she was on range in Narragansett Bay from November 13th 1918 until December 13th 1918. Isla de Luzon decommissioned on February 15th 1919 and was designated as yard craft of the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport, Rhode Island until her name was struck from the Navy List on July 23rd 1919. She was sold on March 10th 1920 to the Bahama & West Indies Trading Co., New York, and renamed Reviver.
