This is the correct answer.
OK, how about this? Let's stay on the naval theme.
What's the popular name of this fleet and what did it do of importance?

Spanish Armada, hunt down Christopher Colombus.

My initial guess would be Cuban Missile Crisis, but I have no clue.

Well, that sort of gives it away... Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet. Went around the world on a tour of goodwill, if I remember my history classes.

Ah, Were you thinking of the German disguised merchant raiders like the Penguin?
No. Really the only German wasrship I could remember was the Bismarck. I'm not as up on my WWII history as I should be. I'm a much bigger ancient history buff. And I prefer Revolutionary and Civil War history to WWII. But I still find it all fascinating.

This was about 60 years before that.

This was going to be my guess.
Didn't they pull into Japan or China to end centuries of isolation?

You're thinking of the opening of Japan by Commodore Perry in 1853.
