John Paul Jones, to be sure, was a famous captain, know for his indomitable bravery and pluck, his courage in battle and his far-seeing strategy for winning wars and for up-building the Navy. He called for a naval academy and indeed is entombed in the chapel crypt at Annapolis. Ashore he was intent on two things: his own promotion and - what amounted to the same thing - getting back to sea in command, preferably of a fleet, if possible, if not, at least the most capable warship available... which he would then make more capable. 

One strong impression on this reading was how much time was spent, necessarily and also unnecessarily, on fitting-out and financing a voyage or expedition. Getting ready, getting the people together, getting a ship at all in the first place, getting orders to go, .. and then afterwards getting paid! (The Bonhomme Richard crew's prize money? Their heirs got the last of it in 1862.)

His "colossal egotism" (as Morison has it) and his incessant push to get things going and get them right won him few friends but many victories and the respect he was doubtless due from at least most of his subordinates - and few of his rivals. 

Jack ashore and Jack at sea... 

Ashore he worked toward his professional goals; he also famously dallied with a number of ladies in the fin-de-siècle capital of pre-Revolutionary France, and made himself amiable in the society of Philadelphia, Portsmouth, N.H., and then Paris.
