Francis Godolphin Bond

Francis Godolphin Bond (23 January 1765 – 26 October 1839, Exeter) was a Rear-Admiral in the British Royal Navy.

Under his command, Netley captured numerous French and Spanish privateers, including Egyptienne.

[1] In all, under Bond Netley captured some 45 prizes, including 19 armed privateers.

Bond received his promotion to Commander on 11 December 1800 and left Netley.

He received no further command and though he rose to the rank rear admiral on 10 January 1837 through seniority, he actually appears never to have gone to sea again in a naval capacity after his service in Netley.
