Did he operate independently . Yes, he certainly had an independent spirit in his own way of doing things but didnt have a Commanding Officer interest part of the core, they did have their marching orders as to what their role would be but he took on additional roles and a lot of credit for that, to roosevelt. Where is that phil . Its in cuba just outside of the east side. Why was it significant . One of the spanish fleet was held up in the harbor and the u. S. Navy wanted to force that fleet out of there and destroy it, make combat and they thought the best way to do that was to send a plan forced. Once he was taken, the fleet would be honorable.
