The sound of the first word "Bon" is the same sound as in bonfire or bond without the 'd'. The sound of the second word "Homme" is mostly silent and is the same sound as in mom without the first 'm'. The sound of the third word "Richard" is the French sound for Richard with emphasis on the soft second syllable like the sound in the name "Char"lotte or the color "char"treuse. When pronouncing the full name you would concatenate or run together the first two words with emphasis on the second word. This would result in the name sounding like "Bǒn´ǒm Ree´shär". I served on the attack carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) from 1966 -1969. And like her namesake captained by John Paul Jones, this grand lady served her country well and faithful.

How is the quote you have not yet begun to fight connected to the Revolutionary War?
In 1779, while in command of the American vessel "Bon Homme Richard", Captain John Paul Jones engaged the British frigate HMS Serapis in the "Battle of Flamborough Head". While maneuvering to grapple the Serapis and board her, the British captain taunted Jones "Will you yield?", the Bon Homme Richard having been severely damaged. Jones replied "I have not yet BEGUN to fight!" After a prolonged battle, the Americans prevailed and the captain of the Serapis surrendered. The American crew was forced to abandon the sinking Bon Homme Richard, and sailed the Serapis to (neutral) Holland for repairs.
