On 16 February 1804, Decatur laid his command, the ketch Intrepid, alongside the captured frigate and, as Captain Edward Preble later wrote, “in a Gallant and Officer-like manner, boarded and carried her against all opposition…” Silence cloaked the bold American attack.
It named after Edward Preble, a marine officer in the American Revolutionary War of 1812.
