The Spanish attack on Brunei in 1578 was primarily driven by Spain's desire to expand its influence in Southeast Asia and to control the lucrative trade routes in the region. Spain aimed to undermine the power of the Sultanate of Brunei, which was a significant Muslim kingdom that posed a threat to Spanish interests, especially in the Philippines. Additionally, the conflict was fueled by previous hostilities and ambitions for territorial conquest, as well as the broader context of European colonial rivalry in Asia.

He led the U.S. Navy's Asiatic Squadron during the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898, during the Spanish-American War.

His famous order, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," signaled the beginning of the attack.

Drake referred to this successful attack as "Singeing the King of Spain's beard".
