John Paul Jones
John Paul Jones (July 6, 1747–July 18, 1792) was America's first well-known naval hero in the American Revolutionary War.
During his engagement with Serapis, Jones uttered the legendary reply to a British officer's surrender request, "I have not yet begun to fight!"

USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53)
Motto: In Harm's Way
USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53) is the third Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer
The mission of John Paul Jones is to conduct prompt and sustained operations at sea in support of U.S. national interests. John Paul Jones is capable of operating independently, as an element of a coordinated force, or as the nucleus of a surface action group, and to direct and coordinate anti-air, surface, undersea, and strike warfare operations. The ship is named in honor of Naval hero John Paul Jones and derives her motto from a famous quote of his, "I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm's way."

John Paul Jones
John Paul Jones (July 6, 1747 – July 18, 1792) was the United States' first well-known naval fighter in the American Revolutionary War. Although he made enemies among the American ruling class, his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation which persists to this day.
Bonhomme Richard
In 1779, Captain Jones took command of the 42-gun Bonhomme Richard (or as he preferred it, Bon Homme Richard), a merchant ship rebuilt and given to America by the French shipping magnate, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray. On August 14, as a vast French and Spanish invasion fleet approached England, he provided a diversion by heading for Ireland at the head of a five ship squadron including the 36-gun Alliance, 32-gun Pallas, 12-gun Vengeance, and Le Cerf, also accompanied by two privateers. Several Royal Navy warships were sent towards Ireland in pursuit, but on this occasion, he continued right around the north of Scotland into the North Sea, creating near-panic all along Britain's east coast as far south as the Humber estuary. Jones's main problems, as on his previous voyage, resulted from insubordination, particularly by Pierre Landais, captain of the Alliance. On September 23, 1779, the squadron met a large merchant convoy off the coast off Flamborough Head, east Yorkshire. The 50 gun British frigate HMS Serapis and the 20 gun hired escort Countess of Scarborough placed themselves between the convoy and Jones's squadron, allowing the merchants to escape.
Shortly after 7 pm began the Battle of Flamborough Head. The Serapis engaged the Bonhomme Richard, and soon afterwards, the Alliance fired, from a considerable distance, at the Countess. Quickly recognising that he could not win a battle of big guns, and with the wind dying, Jones made every effort to lock Richard and Serapis together (his famous quotation, "I have not yet begun to fight!" was uttered in reply to a cheerful British taunt during an odd stalemate in this phase of the battle), finally succeeding after about an hour, following which his deck guns and marksmen in the rigging began clearing the British decks. Alliance sailed past and fired a broadside, doing at least as much damage to the Richard as to the Serapis. Meanwhile, the Countess of Scarborough had enticed the Pallas downwind of the main battle, beginning a separate engagement. When Alliance approached this contest, about an hour after it had begun, the badly damaged Countess surrendered.
With Bonhomme Richard burning and sinking, it seems that her ensign was shot away; when one of the officers, apparently believing his captain to be dead, shouted a surrender, the British commander asked, seriously this time, if they had struck their colors. Jones later remembered saying something like "I am determined to make you strike", but the words allegedly heard by crew-members and reported in newspapers a few days later were more like: "I may sink, but I’ll be damned if I strike."

USS Bonhomme Richard (1765)
The first USS Bonhomme Richard, formerly Duc de Duras, was a frigate in the Continental Navy. She was originally an East Indiaman, a merchant ship built in France for the French East India Company in 1765, for service between France and the Orient. She was placed at the disposal of John Paul Jones on 4 February 1779, by King Louis XVI of France as a result of a loan to the United States by French shipping magnate, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray.
Jones renamed her Bon Homme Richard - usually rendered in more correct French as Bonhomme Richard, to honor Benjamin Franklin, the American Commissioner at Paris whose almanac, Poor Richard's Almanac had been published in France under the title Les Maximes du Bonhomme Richard.

Pentagon Aide Quits; Warnings Ignored, He Says
By ELIZABETH BECKER and STEVEN LEE MYERS
Published: Thursday, October 26, 2000
A Pentagon intelligence analyst resigned one day after terrorists bombed the destroyer Cole in Yemen, protesting that his superiors had ignored his warnings of an imminent threat to American forces in the region, senators and defense officials said today.
The resignation of the analyst -- who monitored terrorist threats in the region for the Defense Intelligence Agency -- raised new questions on Capitol Hill about whether the Pentagon and intelligence agencies could have done more to avert the attack on the Cole, which killed 17 sailors and wounded 39 on Oct. 12.
The analyst, identified as Kie C. Fallis, had not warned of a specific threat against the Cole or of an attack in Yemen, defense officials said.
Rather, they said, he concluded from intelligence reports that there was a strong possibility of an attack and that military commanders had not done enough to protect American forces in the region.
Senior Pentagon officials testified today during House and Senate hearings that at times became contentious. And officials also disclosed that American intelligence agencies had issued two other warnings of a terrorist attack in the region -- one the day before the Cole was bombed, the second hours afterward.
The Central Intelligence Agency issued a general warning on Oct. 11 that an attack on ''U.S. interests and Jewish tourists'' in the region was likely, one senior government official said. The second warning, issued by the National Security Agency, was more specific, citing the possibility of an attack based on the movement of a suspected terrorist in Yemen, according to a senior defense official.
