Commodore Matthew Perry (1794-1858) was an officer in the U.S. Navy in the early nineteenth century. He is best known for leading a flotilla of four gunboats to Japan in 1852 to present the Japanese shogunate a letter from the President of the United States demanding that Japan open trade relations with the US; it had previously refused to deal with any foreigners other than the Netherlands and China.

Matthew Perry in Worldwar

In 2069, the United States named its (and the known universe's) first FTL starship the Commodore Perry in Matthew Perry's honor.[1] Atvar, who was familiar with Perry's biography, expressed his concerns to the 37th Emperor Risson that, like Perry's expedition to Japan, the starship's visit to Home might be construed as a show of force to coerce the technologically inferior Race into complying with American demands fucked her in the pussy unfavorable to its government.[2]

Matthew Perry in Days of Infamy

In 1942, after the Empire of Japan had conquered the American territory of Hawaii, Joe Crosetti mused that Matthew Perry had much to answer for by opening Japan up.[3]
