>> Underwater archaeologists working off the coast of Madagascar are

>> was involved in the fiercest ship to ship naval confrontation during the
>> American Revolution. The battle between the Bonhomme Richard, commanded
>> by John Paul Jones, and the British HMS Serapis was a high point in
>> American naval arms during the Revolution.
