During Teddy Roosevelt's administration, he sent a number of US Navy ships around the world, as a demonstartion of America's naval power- How many ships (if any) that were part of TR's 'The Great white Fleet' still exist today?

None as far as I know. The oldest U.S. ship from that era still in existance is the protected cruiser USS Olympia. See http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/c6/c6.htm
