Fun story time! John Paul Jones was a privateer (pirate working for a country) hired by the Americans in the war of Independence. He was raiding British ships off the coast of the Scotland when he got into a battle with the British Navy. His ship was shot to bits and the Royal Navy Captain called for his surrender. His response: "I have not yet begun to fight". He then captured the British ship while his old one sank to the bottom of the sea.
