Yes

Explanation:

  • John Paul Jones is regarded as one of the heroes of the Revolution.
  • He was a living monster for the British, especially 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.
  • He ran into a large trading convoy secured by the British HMS Serapis and Countess of Scarborough.
  • To attack them seemed suicidal. So Jones attacked them. With his nearly 100 cannons, the British made it difficult to drill his boat, kill a good part of the crew and then offered to surrender. And he said to them, "I have not yet begun to fight."
  • Three hours of assault and counterattack followed, gruesome gunfire, and in the end Jones managed to defeat the British, sink one ship and capture the other.
