		The naval superiority of England was every where acknowledged; and the idea of the omnipotence of her power on the sea was so universal in the American mind, that serious expectations of success in a contest with her on that theatre were regarded as absurd.
		Morris was severely but not fatally shot through the body; Alwyn was wounded in the shoulder; and a bullet through his brain brought Bush dead to the deck.

	Naval History Magazine: The Best Quote Jones Never Wrote - Page Two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is by no means enough that an officer of the Navy should be a capable mariner.
		Therefore, when Buell's biography of Jones cited newly discovered evidence proving that the naval hero deserved the coveted title, "Father of the Navy," critics asked to see his documentation and questioned the mythmaker's contention that Jones held progressive-era views on patriotism and professionalism.
