Commemorative medal featuring the USS Olympia, a protected cruiser of the United States Navy.
The medal commemorates the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898.
The prominent quote, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," is attributed to Commodore George Dewey, commander of the Asiatic Squadron, addressing Captain Charles Gridley of the USS Olympia at the start of the battle.
The USS Olympia served as Commodore Dewey's flagship during the battle.
The medal likely serves as a historical artifact celebrating this significant naval victory and the famous command issued during the engagement.
