Which Revolutionary naval commander slammed his ship, Bonhomme Richard, into the British ship Serapis, leading the way to a decisive U.S.Naval victory?

Respuesta :

John Paul Jones

Explanation:

  • He was the famous US Navy Commander during the Revolution. By September 23, 1779, he had been fighting in the ranks of the Continental Navy for four years.
  • He was a living monster for the British, especially that September when he flew across the Atlantic to harass the British Navy.
  • He was captain of the USS Bonhomme Richard ship and ran a group of smaller ships. But at one point, they quarreled in the squadron and Jones stayed almost alone, and shortly after he ran into a large trading convoy secured by British HMS Serapis and Countess of Scarborough.
  • To attack them seemed suicidal. So Jones attacked them. With his nearly 100 cannons, the British had a hard time drilling him, killing a good portion of the crew and then offering to surrender. And he said to them, "I haven't even started fighting yet!" Three hours of assault and counterattack followed, gruesome shootings, and eventually Jones was able to defeat the British, sink one ship and capture the other.
