Originally named "Duc de Duras", this ship was loaned by the French Crown to the newborn American Continental Navy, to be placed under the command of John Paul Jones; she was renamed "Bonhomme Richard", in honor of Benjamin Franklin. During her cruise against the British, in the Battle of Flamborough Head, the Bonhomme Richard met her destiny fighting gloriously against the British Frigate HMS Serapis. Even if his ship was seriously damaged, John Paul Jones won the battle, but in the end lost his ship, which sunk in the aftermath of the battle.

This ship pack can also be used to represent another version of the "Bonhomme Richard 1779" with an alternative, possible armament.

America Strong

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

In the same vein as the Constitution being a match for a 3rd rate ship of the line, the Bonhomme Richard can hold its ground against any of the other frigates in game. As usual for Ares Games the miniature is absolutely beautiful!

Expanding American fleet

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Great paint job, great model. Good model if you are looking for a middle of the road ship for your American fleet.
