Battle of Nipe Bay
The Battle of Nipe Bay on July 21, 1898 was an engagement of the Spanish–American War. The battle was fought in Nipe Bay, Cuba, by four United States Navy warships against the Spanish sloop-of-war ''Jorge Juan'' and three gunboats which were supported by forts guarding the harbor.
==Battle==
Nipe Bay had been designated as a rendezvous point for American naval forces delegated to attack Puerto Rico. Upon finding the harbor still occupied by Spanish forces, the American squadron, consisted of the gunboats USS ''Annapolis'' and USS ''Topeka'', the armed tug USS ''Leyden'' and the armed yacht . The squadron maneuvered through a minefield to engage the Spanish forces. ''Jorge Juan'' opened fire upon ''Wasp'' and ''Leyden'' but was quickly sunk by the two with the help from ''Annapolis''. While the other three ships were engaging ''Jorge Juan'', ''Topeka'' silenced the harbor forts and fired on other Spanish works in the harbor.
