The Battle of the Mona Passage was fought on 19 April 1782 between the British and French navies during the American Revolutionary War. A British fleet under Rear-Admiral of the Blue Sir Samuel Hood engaged a French squadron under Georges-François de Framond which had escaped the Battle of the Saintes a week earlier. The two forces met and engaged at the Mona Passage where Hood's fleet overtook and captured four French warships, completing the British victory at the Saintes.
