There's a scene like that (with said internal dialogue) in either
Ringworld or Ringworld Engineers, with Louis Wu acting far more certain
than he is. I think somebody else goes along happily and trustingly and
Chmee looks sceptical, but bows to the necessity of doing something.

Not space combat, though.
