ANY MAN WHO MAY BE ASKED IN THIS CENTURY WHAT HE DID TO MAKE HIS LIFE WORTH WHILE. I THINK CAN RESPOND WITH A GOOD DEAL OF PRIDE AND SATISFACTION; 1 SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY. JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, 1917-1963 IN THE BEGINNING . . . Master Commandant Thomas Macdonough (1783- 1825) learned his seamanship on the Mediterranean station, his strategy from studying the battles of Horatio Nelson, and acquired a taste for battle from a brother who had served in the CONSTELLATION during her fight with the Insur- gents in 1799. After becoming a midshipman in 1800. he served in a converted merchantman during the quasi-war with France, then for a year in the CONSTELLATION on the Mediterranean Station, and was one of the volunteer crewmen in Lieutenant Stephen Decatur ' s ketch who fired the PHILADELPHIA in 1804. He also commanded a gun- boat in action against Tripolitan gunboats and galleys. After a tour in ESSEX, he commanded the gunboats on Long Is- land Sound, then captained merchant ships for two years. With the outbreak of the war of 1812. he requested active duty and was directed to command the tiny naval force on Lake Champlain. the customary British invasion route. Mac- donough chose to fight from anchor, he had taken precau- tions to have spring lines on his bow and stern anchors. When his starboard battery was shot way he wound ship and pre- sented his undamaged port batteries to Captain George Downey, who surrendered. Even if the United States was un- able to follow it up, Macdonough ' s victory left the road to Montreal open and helped win a favorable peace treaty for the United States.

Navy planes today shot down two Libyan jet fighters over the Mediterranean Sea, according to Mute House officials who said the American aircraft were ' threatened while conducting routine operations in interna- tional airspace. The air battle was the first fighting between the United States and Libya since Amencan jets bombed Tripoli in 1986 and came amid rising tension between the two countries over Libya ' s constructi on of a plant the United States says is intended to produce chemical weapons At the State Department, spokesman Charles Redman told The Associated Press there was no link between the plant and the warplane incident. There is absolutely no connection to any other story or concern you may have, he said It may be ironic, but the two things are not related Deputy White House Press Secretary Roman Popadiuk, in Los Angeles with vacationing President Reagan, said two F-14 aircraft from the aircraft carrier John F.
