After a spirited attack by sea and land he recaptured it on 4 May, and three Dutch East Indiamen, richly laden, who anchored in the bay, were seized.
With his squadron and prizes and the homeward-bound ships in convoy, Munden arrived in England in August, and on 6 December was knighted by the king, "in consideration of his eminent service".
In April 1677, in command of the St David, he convoyed the trade to the Mediterranean, was for some time at Zante, afterwards at Scanderoon, and for fourteen months at Smyrna.
On 15 June he wrote to the admiralty explaining that he had not sent home the muster-books from the Mediterranean, the postage being extremely heavy, and by no means safe.
Shortly after his death arms were granted to the widow, her children, and her husband's brother, Sir John Munden.
