So far in my research, I have learned that the fleet was composed of more than two dozen ships with sixteen battleship's as it's center. Two of the battleships (the USS Nebraska and Alabama) were later replaced with USS Nebraska and Wisconsin due to breakdowns in the first two. The ships later split into smaller groups to make their impact greater
Another fact i learned was that while on the voyage, the crew celebrated Christmas and decorated the ships with palm trees and streamers.
This is my only source so far but i am looking for many more!
