John Paul Jones secured the exchange of British captives for the freedom of American prisoners of war. He also captured a British ship carrying uniforms, winter clothes, and provisions to British soldiers in America, thus depriving them of necessary equipment and aiding the Americans.
In addition to this, Captain Jones developed the war tactic of attacking the enemy's home country so they will focus their attention on saving their country and not so much on attacking the American coasts. In fact, Captain Jones was the first person to attack England with a warship since the Vikings first came there.

Which commander won the battle of bonhomme Richard serapis?
The captain of the Bonhomme Richard (John Paul Jones) won the battle at great costs. John Paul Jones lost half his men in this vicious battle between Great Britain (who was fighting with a ship called the Serapis) against "America." John Paul Jones and his crew had been under heavy fire for the first hour. The captian of the british ship asked if John would surrender but then he said "I haven't begun to fight." The next two hours were brutal. Finally John jumped on deck of the Serapia and claimed the ship. Only but 36 hours later he watched the Bonhomme Richard sink. okay... so who won british or Americans?
