HERIIHIHE N FEBRUARY 4, 1779, John Paul Jones received the French ship Duc de Duras from Louis XVI and renamed it BON HOMME RICHARD for his friend Benjamin Franklin. This small ship, carrying a crew of 375 and mounting 42 guns, was soon destined to make naval history. By August, 1779, she became flagship of John Paul Jones' fleet of seven ships.
