The most famous US naval captain during the Revolutionary War was John Paul Jones. From 1777 to 1779, Jones commanded the USS Ranger. With the Ranger, Jones attacked and harassed British merchant shipping. These attacks were responsible for tying up logistics and allocation of defense resources. Also these attacks of the USS Ranger significantly decreased British morale. Many British at the time thought the American Revolution was a distant foreign affair, but Jones' attacks brought the conflict to the British's own doorstep. In 1779, Jones took command of his most famous ship, the USS Bonhomme Richard. In September 1779, the Bonhomme Richard famously engaged the HMS Serapis in the Battle of Flamborough Head. The battle was intense, and for a moment, the British seemed to be winning.
