Continental Navy

Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:44 pm

The event in 1776 regarding formation of the Continental Navy should not have JP Jones and the Bonhomme Richard, but rather Commodore Hopkins and the Alfred (his flagship) to represent the small squadron the Americans put together. JPJ may be famous for his cruise in the BHR, but that was much later (1779).
