Throughout the course of history, we’ve been able to judge the character and intestinal fortitude of various naval officers by their declarations during the stress of battle:

“Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,” was proclaimed by Admiral David Farragut during the Civil War battle of Mobile Bay.

It was “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” but I don’t know who said it. Google that and see what you get.
