"Fast ships, going in harm's way"

Please, I really need to know this one.
I know John Paul Jones originated it, but what I need to know is what movie this exchange is from.

Sorry, I confused you with my post.  I edited it to clarify what I was looking for.   I was in the NAVY. I know all about John Paul Jones.

What I'm tryin to figure out is what movie that line was in.

But, thanks for the help you helpful guys you!

FWIW it was a John Wayne movie with Kirk Douglas as a co star. I recall the movie but I'm not sure of the title. I "think" it was In Harms Way.

I guess I'll have to watch it again but I don't think that line is in the movie.  I recall it being said on the bridge of a ship, looking out over a vast armada of ships.  

But, In Harm's way is about Operation Sky Hook and  Kirk Dougals, after he rapes the nurse who is engaged to John Wayne's son, kills himself by taking a B-24 in search of the Japaneses fleet.

Maybe Im wrong but I can't find that line in that film.

I believe it is this movie you remember. It is late in the movie before te "climactic" battle that costs Waynes character his leg.
