Dale Malchow, Washington – “Battle plan must contain good intel and stress speed through the channel. It should be aggressive, simplistic and exercise command, control and communication. Farragut’s flagship in van of wooden ships to acquire situational awareness.”

John Rusko, Ohio – “To heck with those underwater mines, let us move forward with all possible velocity. Our concentrated firepower on the Tennessee should sink her before she can do us any real damage. Acting as one cohesive unit instead of a piecemeal attack will serve our purpose better.”

Maurits Wiuff, Denmark – “Farragut’s main advantage lies in his superior fleet strength — mobility and firepower. An attack must be aggressive and fast to keep the initiative.”

Congratulations to our Armchair Generals!
