聯邦海軍於1864年8月23日攻佔阿拉巴馬州的摩根堡 (Fort
Morgan)
法拉格聽到前方士兵大喊「前有魚雷！」，他大聲地回應「該死的魚雷！」然後就搭著他的軍艦「哈特福德」號 (Hartford) 率領軍隊在魚雷區上航行，進入阿拉巴馬州的「摩比灣」 (Mobil
Bay) 。軍艦的底部甚至輕輕碰到魚雷，但是並沒有引爆。其他的軍艦跟著法拉格一一進入海灣，最後並擊敗南方聯盟的軍隊獲得勝利。
In reply to the warning, "Torpedoes ahead!" given by the ships ahead, Farragut called out, "Damn the torpedoes!" and taking the lead with his flagship the Hartford, sailed over the double row of mines and into Mobile Bay in Alabama. The bottom of the ship even scraped the mines. But none exploded. The rest of the fleet followed Farragut's flagship into the bay, and to victory against the Confederate fleet.
