107 ZA, SvZ 2156. Amsterdam admiralty to States General, 26 December 1665. The
Zeeland admiralty resolutions put the total of Amsterdam ships allocated at 16, but this
is a clerical error (probably due to confusion with an in-letter of the same date concern
ing the shipbuilding programme). See NA, AA 2488. RAvZ, 4 January 1666 (on States
General, in-letter, 28 December 1665, and Amsterdam admiralty to States General, 26
December 1665). See also ZA, SvZ 2483. RSG, 29 December 1665 (on Amsterdam

111 Besides Wapen van Rotterdam (46, built 1654), the Rotterdam admiralty certainly lost 4
other ships during 1665 (all at Lowestoft in June): 3 capital ships - Eendracht (76, 1654,
fleet flagship); Prins Maurits (53, 1654); Stad Utrecht (48, 1654) - and the frigate Delft
(36, 1658-9?). Over the size and terms of her contingent for the 1665 main fleet,
Rotterdam had argued long, bitterly and unsuccessfully with the States General for
Eendracht to be counted as 2 capital ships, and also that her 34- and 36-gun frigates
(including Delft) were equal to certain capital ships (precisely, hired vessels equipped
with the minimum 40 guns to qualify as capital ships). See ZA, SvZ 2154.1. Rotterdam
admiralty to States General, 29 January 1665; ibid, 2481. RSG, 26 January 1665 (on
fleet contingents); ibid. RSG, 5 February 1665 (on Rotterdam admiralty, in-letter, 29
January 1665); ibid. RSG, 5 February 1665 (on Committee of Maritime Affairs, report
on Rotterdam admiralty). Two more ships (both frigates) disappear from the record
sometime in 1665: [Wapen van/Stad?\ Rotterdam (34, 1639) and Briel (21, 1660). The
