come on now, this story is not entirely true . as you may or may not know the American Navy was organised by John Paul Jones (yes him, before his musical fame ) . as an Ex pat Scot being so close to home ,and in need of a good curry,he took the opportunity of nippin hame fur a ruby and a few wee goldies . being that in the US (and Canada) curries and whiskey SUCK.so that pish about a night raid up ra clyde is pure bollox.JPJ established a trading post in the Holy Loch where he could trade for curry and whisky .he also figured it would come in handy later when nuclear subs where invented.
i do wish if people are gonna give history lessons they would tell the whole story .
