On This Day In History
1969: Explosion rocks the U.S.S. Enterprise

Quote Of The Day
"Damn the torpedoes - full speed ahead!"
(Admiral David Glasgow Farragut)

I couldn't find any quotes relating to the fire on board the U.S.S. Enterprise but, whilst searching, I came across the above quote which caught my attention because it is used in one of my favourite films, Galaxy Quest. Interestingly, what Farragut referred to as torpedoes were actually mines and, when Commander Taggart shouts this line, he is also referring to mines. Symbolic, perhaps, that he is attaining true leadership qualities.
