That was the Battle of Manila Bay which took place on 1 May 1898, during the Spanish-American War. At Manila Bay in the Philippines, the U.S. Asiatic Squadron destroys the Spanish Pacific fleet in the first battle of the Spanish-American War.

Commodore George Dewey sailed to the Philippines during the Spanish-American War in 1898 to engage the Spanish fleet stationed there. His mission was part of a broader strategy to eliminate Spanish naval power in the Pacific and support the liberation of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule. Dewey's decisive victory at the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898, was pivotal in establishing U.S. influence in the region.

The only time Spain and the US have fought anywhere was during the Spanish-American War of 1898, not during WWII, which was more than forty years later. In 1898 the Philippines had been a Spanish colony for more than 300 years. During the Spanish-American War the US Pacific squadron under Admiral Dewey fought the Spanish Fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay. The Spanish Fleet was completely destroyed, there were no Americans killed or wounded, and the Philippines were no longer a Spanish colony, but an American colony. The Philippines became an independent nation in 1947.
