Tell me a bio of John Paul Jones.
John Paul Jones (July 6, 1747 – July 18, 1792) was an influential Scottish-born naval officer in the Continental Navy of the United States during the American Revolution. He is best known for his daring exploits as a commander of the Continental Navy frigate USS Bonhomme Richard, which he captured from the British HMS Serapis in 1779.

Born in Arbroath, Scotland, Jones joined the Royal Navy at a young age. He served in the Seven Years' War and gained a reputation for his skill as a sailor and a fighter. In 1773, he immigrated to the American colonies and settled in Annapolis, Maryland. When the American Revolution began, Jones joined the Continental Navy and quickly rose through the ranks.

In 1778, Jones was given command of the USS Bonhomme Richard, a French-built frigate that had been captured by the British. With a crew of only 150 men, Jones set out to recapture the ship. On September 23, 1779, he engaged the British HMS Serapis, which was much larger and more powerful than the Bonhomme Richard. Despite being outgunned and outmanned, Jones managed to disable the Serapis and capture it. The victory was a major morale boost for the Continental Army and helped to turn the tide of the war.

After the battle, Jones continued to serve in the Continental Navy, commanding several other ships. He was instrumental in the capture of the British forts at Nassau and St. Augustine in 1782. In 1787, he was appointed as a commissioner to negotiate a treaty with the Creek Indians.

Jones retired from the navy in 1790 and settled in Paris, where he died in 1792. He was posthumously awarded a pension by the United States Congress in 1794. John Paul Jones is considered a hero of the American Revolution and is remembered for his bravery, his strategic genius, and his unwavering loyalty to the cause of American independence.
