After the Union ironclad Tecumseh was sunk during the Battle of Mobile Bay, Admiral David Farragut faced a critical decision on whether to continue the assault on the Confederate defenses or retreat. Ultimately, he chose to press on, famously signaling, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” This decision led to a successful Union victory, despite the risk involved, as Farragut's forces were able to breach the Confederate lines and secure Mobile Bay.

Commodore Dewey, soon to be Admiral, sailed his squadron into Manila Bay from China with the mission of destroying the Spanish Fleet there. There was poor coordination between the Spanish units in the harbor leading to Dewey easily making it in to the harbor itself where he engaged in a gunnery duel with the motley collection of ships that the Spanish had cobbled together. The Spanish ships were sunk in a very one-sided battle. I believe there was only one or several casualties in Dewey's squadron, only injuries though, no deaths.
