Explanation:

The Great White Fleet was a group of U.S. Navy battleships that circumnavigated the globe from 1907 - 1909. It was a demonstration of American naval strength and a way to project power on the international stage. Commodore Matthew Perry forced Japan to open trade in the 1850s. The exploration of uncharted territory and locating Guano Islands were not the purposes of the Great White Fleet.
