Gridley, Charles (Vernon) (1844–1898)

US naval officer. Assigned as captain to the Olympia, he was in Manila Bay on 1 May 1898, when Admiral George Dewey gave the famous command, ‘You may fire when you are ready, Gridley’. Evidently under great strain from the battle, he was invalided home but died en route in Kobe, Japan. Gridley was born in Logansport, Indiana. As a Naval Academy student, he was assigned to active duty in the American Civil War. He filled the standard posts of a career officer for over 30 years.
