Squadron of Evolution
L'Escadre de l'Évolution

Le Squadron of Evolution (parfois appelé aussi White Squadron) fut une unité navale de transition de l'US Navy à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Il était composé des trois premiers croiseurs protégés :

et des canonnières :

  • USS Yorktown (PG-1),
  • USS Dolphin (PG-24).
