Despite being rapidly surpassed by new American dreadnoughts, "New Hampshire" had an active career. She made two trips to Europe in 1910 and 1911, and she sank the old battleship , which had been converted into a target ship. "New Hampshire" was particularly active in the Caribbean during this period, as several countries, including Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico devolved into internal political conflicts. These actions included the United States occupation of Veracruz, during which the ship's commander was awarded the Medal of Honor.
