During which Civil War battle was the order "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" given?

The order "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" was given during the Battle of Mobile Bay, which took place in August 1864. This phrase was famously uttered by Admiral David Farragut as he led his forces to charge through the minefield (referred to as "torpedoes" at the time) protecting the bay's entrance. The order exemplifies Farragut's boldness and determination, reflecting the high-stakes environment of naval warfare during the Civil War. Capturing Mobile Bay was critical for the Union forces as it would effectively strangle the Confederate supply lines and provide the Union Navy with control over a key strategic location.

The other battles listed—Antietam, Gettysburg, and Fort Sumter—while significant events in the Civil War, are not associated with this specific command or the naval operations of Farragut. Antietam is known for being the bloodiest single-day battle in American history. Gettysburg was a pivotal land battle that marked a turning point in the war, and Fort Sumter was the site of the first shots fired in the Civil War. However, none of these events relate to the dynamic naval engagements exemplified by Farragut's decision at Mobile Bay.
