During the War of 1812, Captain James Lawrence, commanding the 49-gun frigate U.S.S. Chesapeake, was attacked off Boston Harbor by the British ship H.M.S. Shannon.  In less than 15 minutes, Lawrence’s crew was overwhelmed. Mortally wounded, Lawrence shouted, Tell the men to fire faster and not to give up the ship; fight her till she sinks!” True to his wordsevery officer in the Chesapeake’s chain of command fought until they were either killed or wounded.   In honor of Captain Lawrence, although not before every officer on the ship except for Perry and his 13-year-old brother was either killed or wounded.    Lawrence’s words became the motto of the U.S. Navy which has since named numerous ships in his honor and Perry’s flag now hangs in a place of honor at the United States Naval Academy.
