95. An obscure fact or two about John Paul Jones

His name was actually John Paul, and he added the Jones early on because he was wanted in Tobago for killing a seaman under his command--hey, those were the days before fingerprints, it was easier to con people--he didn't want to be arrested and hanged for the deed.

For awhile towards the end of his career he was a rear admiral in the Russian Navy.

He was buried in Paris, but they dug him up and buried him at the USNA in Annapolis.
