[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4233359, member: 7900"] I've posted these before, but I'll do it again to illustrate for you. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Morgan-Alabama/i-Hdz8CPV/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Morgan-Alabama/i-Hdz8CPV/0/FXCFN7Wz4pRj32j9D8M7cNQzMq44ZDP3wZ7XVxkjw/X3/DSC_2787-X3.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Morgan-Alabama/i-CjR68mx/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Fort-Morgan-Alabama/i-CjR68mx/0/FfXFrPSGbP8PndR5qPgk5Nx5Pvw32rjFRLD3CD5Sd/X3/DSC_2786-X3.jpg[/img][/url] I was also reading up on the battle of Mobile Bay and learned that the phrase "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" may not be correct. At that time, references to the ship's speed was in the term of "X-number of bells, i.e., Four Bells, etc. Farragut was up somewhat in the rigging to better see what was transpiring and was relaying orders to someone below him to pass on to those controlling the ship.
