Please post any links or clips of any good JPJ trivia you can find here on this thread.

The mass media, over the past 30 years, is trying to phase John Paul Jones out of the pantheon of American heros. Many people today under the age of 35 have not ever heard of him. When I was a kid everyone knew his name.

Yup, every time I play Sins of a Solar Empire, I always name my second capital ship after John Paul Jones. The first ship is of course named Washington.

Plus he has a good tasting whiskey named after him.
