Huijun Suo
: "Set sail" seems suitable only for excercises on water (by the navy, for example), if it's the case. If there are no marine exercises, the original sound a bit strange. Then 千军竞发 may be better.

Comment: "My translation for '龙腾虎跃，千帆竞发' is 'filled with vigour and all set for actions'.
I am not 100% sure of my translation, but I decided to go with my feeling. Hope this works."
