Monaque joined the École navale in 1955,[4] and was promoted to Ensign 2nd class on 1 October 1956, and to Ensign 1st class on 1 October 1958.[1]
By then a Lieutenant de vaisseau, Monaque took command of the River-class frigate Découverte in April 1971. On 21 May 1976, he was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander and was given command of the T52-type frigate Béarnais.[1][5][3] He later captained the Georges Leygues-class frigate Jean de Vienne.[3]
Transferred ashore, he worked at the Navy General staff, in the Ministry of Defence and at the École supérieure de guerre navale.[3]
Monaque retired from the Navy with the rank of Rear Admiral after a 37-year career.[4]
Monaque has authored several books about the French Navy of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially the navy of the First French Empire.[6]
