The name Bonhomme Richard is very special because that's the ship John Paul Jones sailed during the revolutionary war and it sank in battle due to fire, but not before he commandeered the HMS Serapis. This was the first time any flag was raised in reconition of The United States. This is where the Serapis flag comes from.

The story of John Paul Jones is a story of legend and well worth it.
