"The USS OLYMPIA was recommissioned in 1916, as it became clearer that the United States would not be able to stay out of World War One. She became the flagship of the Patrol force Atlantic Fleet. During this time she was escorting convoys, and patrolling off of Nova Scotia. On April 28, 1918, the USS OLYMPIA sailed out of Charleston, S.C. bound for Murmansk to take part in the ill-fated Allied intervention against the Russian Bolscheviks. She joined the Allied force on May 28, 1918, and actually landed sailors to garrison Murmansk. She contributed approximately one hundred of her crew to join the forces that marched inland. Members of the OLYMPIA's crew also helped man the Russian torpedo boats KAPITAN YOURASOFSKI, and BESCHUMNI."
