Zhilikam t'Faukh t'Tchol t'Mo'biuhl

The Battle of Mobile Bay during the American Civil War, in early August 1864 C.E., in which Union forces defeated Confederate forces defending the last port available to the South, would later be considered a turning point in the war. Admiral Farragut's memorable saying of "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" has echoed through the centuries, although he probably said something more like "Damn the torpedoes. Four bells, Captain Drayton. Go ahead, Jouett, full speed." At that time, a torpedo was what would later be called a tethered mine. The worst tragedy was the loss of the USS Tecumseh with most of her crew, including her captain. Several vessels from the battle lay in Mobile Bay, including CSS Gaines, USS Philippi, CSS Phoenix and USS Tecumseh. Attempts were considered to raise the USS Tecumseh for many years. Strangely enough, there was a ship named "Tennessee" on both sides during the battle.
