Five ships of the United States Navy have borne the name Bonhomme Richard or Bon Homme Richard (pronounced "bun-uhm ree-SHAR"), the French language equivalent of "Goodman Richard".
The Germanic first or given name Richard derives from German, French, and English "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave), and it therefore means "powerful leader". Nicknames include "Dick", "Dickie", "Rich", "Richie", "Rick", "Ricky", "Rickey", and others.

The United States Navy (USN) is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is the largest, most capable navy in the world, with the highest combined battle fleet tonnage. The U.S. Navy has the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet, with ten in service, two in the reserve fleet, and three new carriers under construction. The service has 328,194 personnel on active duty and 101,199 in the Navy Reserve. It has 272 deployable combat vessels and more than 3,700 aircraft in active service as of February 2016.
The U.S. Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which was established during the American Revolutionary War and was essentially disbanded as a separate entity shortly thereafter. It played a major role in the American Civil War by blockading the Confederacy and seizing control of its rivers. It played the central role in the World War II defeat of Japan. The 21st century U.S. Navy maintains a sizable global presence, deploying in such areas as East Asia, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. It is a blue-water navy with the ability to project force onto the littoral regions of the world, engage in forward areas during peacetime, and rapidly respond to regional crises, making it an active player in U.S. foreign and defense policy.

Posted for the families and friends of the crew.Welcome home! Homecoming of the USS Bonhomme to San Diego in April 2010. Filmed from the shorelines of Coronado as she sailed by on way to her welcoming family and friends at the dock. Also filmed that morning were the USS Cleveland and USS Rushmore, all which received an initial salute with fire hoses that early April morning. This is the ship that is in the movie, "An Act of Valor" which is definitely worth seeing. It is an authentic and accurate action-filled movie featuring actual Navy SEALs. https://www.facebook.com/ActOfValorMovie

Starting a new series to honor and showcase some of the unsung heroes of the Vietnam war- the aircraft! For our first installment we will be looking at the North American/ Rockwell OV-10A Bronco. This aircraft was used mainly as F.A.C. (Forward Air Control), and on many occasions her pilots put their lives on the line to keep our boys safe from the enemy. A lot of them never came home.
