Captained by John Paul Jones. You might’ve heard about him.

‘Struck Sir? I have not yet begun to fight!’

The remains of the famous Revolutionary War frigate USS Bonhomme Richard have been discovered off the coast of the U.K., more than 200 years after it sank following a naval battle

The BBC reports that the famous warship, which was commanded by John Paul Jones, was discovered by search experts Merlin Burrows. Pieces of the ship were found off the coastal town of Filey in Yorkshire.

Never occurred to me that the ship was lost in the first place, but then I noticed it wasn't in any museum or anything. The U.S. Navy marauded over a lot of the planet, and is the more interesting military history of the war than the land war, imo.

Interesting they could find it after all these years

I met Davy Jones during shellback initiation when I was on the USS Midway.

Neptune was there also, but I think he was a fake.
