The Battle of Mobile Bay.
Perhaps the most famous naval hero for the Union was Admiral David Glasgow Farragut who is best remembered for saying "Darn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead, Drayton!" This was said after one of his ships was sunk by a mine at the battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama, August 5, 1864. But, of course, he didn't actually say "darn."
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur
He planned out the naval attack on Pearl Harbor. He was the greatest naval strategist.

Since World War 2, the greatest attention in naval weapons has been focused on missiles. These include anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and ballistic missiles. Advancements in missile technology have revolutionized naval warfare and greatly increased the range and precision of naval engagements.
