thehistory.net may hold a few answers for you

Hmmm, I remember this from somewhere else. Thought it was "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines," but I'm not sure.

Hi

Gridley was captian of Commodore Dewey's flagship Olympia, when they attacked the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, Phillipines during the Spanish-American war of 1898. Let's just say the battle went *very* well for the Americans.

thanks GRUNHERZ
