You may fire when you are ready, Gridley. Dewey said it at dawn in Manila Bay on the first of May 1898 and destroyed the Spanish squadron before breakfast, which made him the most celebrated American alive. His memoir reaches back a good deal further, to a Vermont boyhood and forty years of naval service nobody had thought worth noticing.
