Immortalized by David Farragut's apothegm, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,†the Battle of Mobile Bay remains one of history's great naval engagements. This new study takes a fresh look at the battle - the bloodiest naval battle of the US Civil War - examining its genesis, tactics, and political ramifications.
