Additionally, many of her smaller guns were removed to arm other ships. Decommissioned on May 15, 1920, she still received the designation of BB-10 in July. During World War I, she trained engineers, armed-guard crews, and midshipmen.
Recommissioned after modifications in June 1911, she returned to operations off the eastern coast. Maine served as the flagship to the Third Squadron before decommissioned in August 1909. Due to her heavy coal consumption, she returned to the United States before the other ships in October 1908. As one of the battleships of the Great White Fleet, Maine departed in December 1907.
Her duty for the next five years was to serve in the Atlantic and off the eastern coast of the United States. The lead ship of her pre-Dreadnought battleship class, USS Maine (Battleship #10), was commissioned on December 29, 1902, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
