Venture into the past of David Glasgow Farragut, the unfaltering flag officer of the United States Navy during the tumultuous American Civil War. Born near Knoxville, Tennessee, Farragut's loyalty to the Union in the midst of his Southern roots paints a complex picture of a man, who, driven by his principles, would settle at nothing less than full speed. His beginnings were humble, as the son of a Spanish Balearic merchant captain and a Scotch-Irish American mother, but his naval career, launched at a tender age of nine, rose to unprecedented heights.

One of Farragut's standout achievements was his pivotal role in extending the Union's control along the mighty Mississippi River during the Civil War. His triumphant attack on Mobile Bay, the last Confederate stronghold on the Gulf of Mexico, remains etched in annals of the U.S. Navy, encapsulated in the legendary command, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead". His devotion to duty saw him rise through the ranks, becoming the first rear admiral, vice admiral, and admiral of the U.S. Navy.
