Answer:

He successfully charged at the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish-American War started in the uprising against Spanish rule that began in Cuba in the year of 1895. The Navy of the United States was well trained and well supplied, primarily by the ambitious efforts of the young Navy Assistant Secretary, Theodore Roosevelt, who had assigned Dewey to lead the Asian Squadron. The young navy Assistant secretory earned respect of the nation during the Battle of Manila Bay.
