Manila Bay was the site of Commodore George Dewey's victory over the Spanish Philippine Fleet.
The Spanish Caribbean Fleet was blockaded at Santiago de Cuba until the San Juan Heights had been taken. Because the fleet was then vulnerable to attack by land forces, Admiral Pascual Cervera elected to make a run for the open sea on 3 July 1898. In the first hour of combat, five of the six Spanish ships were out of action and sunk or grounded. Only the Cristobol Colon had a chance at escape and it was finally run aground.
The Battle of Manila Bay.
Two major Naval Battles were fought in the Spanish American War. Commodore George Dewey struck Manila Bay and destroyed the Spanish Fleet on 1 May 1898 and Comodores William Sampson and Winfield Scott Schley took out the more modern Caribbean Squadron at Santiago de Cuba on 3 July 1898.
