On October 25, 1983, a United States Navy A-7 Corsair attack/bomber from the aircraft carrier USS Independence bombed a complex approximately one-half mile east of the capitol city of St. Georges', Grenada, West Indies, during the United States, military intervention on the island. The particular target on that date was a compound that contained several structures, including two forts: Fort Matthews and Fort Frederick. The Fort Frederick facility itself consisted of several buildings, two of which were particulary noteworthy: the Richmond Hill Prison and the Richmond Hill Mental Hospital.
