Whose war?[edit]

The page, at this time, is listed as part of the American Revolution in [https://books.google.com/books?id=AE8dQ8gvow8C&pg=PT170&dq=Battle%20of%20Providien%20revolutionary%20war&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZ0Ja3jMfRAhUL3IMKHbBpBTEQ6AEIIDAB#v=onepage&q=Battle%20of%20Providien%20revolutionary%20war&f=false Battle at Sea: 3,000 Years of Naval Warfare By R.G. Grant]. However, it was between the French and British off the coast of India in 1782. An IP is changing content to it being the Anglo-French War (1778–1783). Not sure what to make of this.
