Trivia: What was the name of the ship famously captained by John Paul Jones?
USS Constitution
USS Bonhomme Richard
USS Monitor
USS Providence
The correct answer is USS Bonhomme Richard
So why is this answer correct? : Named in honor of Benjamin Franklin (whose pen name was Richard Saunders, or “Poor Richard”), the USS Bonhomme Richard was given to Captain John Paul Jones by the French King Louis XVI. On September 23, 1779, the ship engaged with the British frigate the HMS Serapis. When asked to surrender, Jones famously replied “I have not yet begun to fight!” After his stunning victory, Jones transferred his crew to the captured Serapis and the Bonhomme Richard sank the next day.
