David Glasgow Farragut (July 5, 1801 – August 14, 1870) was a flag officer of the United States Navy during the Civil War. He was the first rear admiral, vice admiral, and admiral in the United States Navy. He is remembered for his order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, usually paraphrased as "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" in U.S. Navy tradition.    [jet]  [ph:L]
