The Navy ship was the USS Maine (ACR-1) a US Navy Battleship moored in Havana Harbor. Though to this day controversy still exists as to the initiating cause of the explosion that sank the Maine, the consensus is that the ignition of powder in her forward magazines and resulting explosion are what sunk her.
Initiating causes range from a mine to a fire cause by spontaneous coal combustion.
