Two of her crew became Secretaries of the Navy; Lt. Truman
H. Newbury and Chief Gunner's Mate Edwin Denby. Newbury also served as
U.S. Senator and Denby as U.S. Congressman. The latter resigned from the
Congress when theU.S. entered WWI and joined the Marine Corps as a private

After the war he served as Managing Director of the Public Service Corporation of NJ. Then he was called upon to reorganize the underground railway system of the Grand Omnibus Co. of London, England. For this achievement, he was knighted as Sir Albert by King George V. Chief Engineer Mortimer Cooley returned to his teaching duties at the University of Michigan and in 1903 he became Dean of the School of Engineering.
