Step aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard with Lucas and Luna as they recount the audacious naval career of John Paul Jones — the Scottish-born captain who became the American Revolution's most feared sea raider. From his early command of the Providence to the epic 1779 Battle of Flamborough Head, this episode explores how Jones raided British ports, captured the HMS Drake, and famously declared 'I have not yet begun to fight!' when his own ship was sinking. Learn how his attacks on the British coastline forced the Royal Navy to divert ships from America, weakening their blockade. We also discuss his post-war service in the Russian navy under Catherine the Great and his forgotten legacy as the 'Father of the American Navy'.
