Vizcaya. Based on the British Orlando Class. When the USA sent the battleship USS Maine to Havana on a courtesy visit, the Spanish government sent the Vizcaya to New York. However, when the Vizcaya arrived in New York, the USS Maine had already exploded in Havana, and the increasing tension between Spain and the USA meant the Vizcaya returned to Havana.
