About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I was inducted into the Navy in 1970, and on my first day, I was given a quick haircut and marched around the grounds with my fellow classmates. We were then lined up in a formation and marched around the grounds by our senior midshipmen readers.
#2 John Paul Jones was a naval officer who grew up on a large estate in Scotland. He was a classic sea warrior, and his fighting spirit was remarkable. He was willing to lead from the front, whether in close boarding fights or personally aiming a cannon.
#3 John Paul Jones was a sea captain who volunteered his services to the Continental Navy in 1775. He was posted as the first lieutenant toward the end of that year to a twenty-four-gun frigate, Alfred. He quickly gained command of a sloop of war, the Providence, in 1776.
#4 By 1779, Jones was given command of a larger, albeit slow and occasionally unseaworthy, vessel, the forty-two-gun United States Ship Bonhomme Richard. He was a reconfigured merchant ship given to the Americans by the French.

The battle between the American ships and the British began around 7:15 p. m. The first round of the battle went to the British, as Jones’s forces never effectively operated as a single cohesive unit.
