More about ships in Haultain's fleet

I posted the list of Haultain's fleet sent to the Mediterranean Sea in 1620 to 1621 at Anglo-Dutch Wars. I have more information about some of the ships:
Adm  name         Last sailors soldiers
M    Leeuwinne    200  -       -        Maybe same as listed in 1628 with crew of 90 and 180 lasts
M    Gelderland   180  -       -        Perhaps ship commanded by Maarten Tromp in 1628
                                      and listed as built in 1616, of 160 lasts
                                      and armed with 2-chambered 24pdr, 2-18pdr, 2-12pdr,
                                      8-8pdr, 4-6pdr, and 6-4pdr

A    Meerman      100   70      20      Is is likely the ship listed in 1628 armed
                                      with 2-12pdr, 6-8pdr, 8-5pdr, and 6-steenstukken

A    Meerminne    100   70      20      This is probably the ship listed in 1628 armed with
                                      2-12pdr, 4-8pdr, 8-5pdr, 2-4pdr, and 6-steenstukken

A    Gulden Leeuw 130   80      22      This may be the ship listed in 1628 armed
   (Gouden Leeuw)                     with 6-12pdr, 12-8pdr, 4-5pdr, and 8-steenstukken

A    Amsterdam    350  156      36      The ship listed in 1628 only has 26 guns
                                      and is listed as being 180 lasts, so this is
                                      a different ship, built earlier

A    Vrieslandt   150   95      26      Perhaps this is the ship listed in 1628 as
                                      being of 140 lasts, armed with 2-chambered 12pdr,
                                      4-12pdr, 10-8pdr, 6-5pdr, and 6-steenstukken,
                                      although it may not be.

A    Vlack        220  110      30    
A    Arent        220  110      24    
A    Edam         150   95      30      This may be the ship listed in 1628
                                      with a crew of 85 sailors and 30 soldiers
                                      and armed with 2-chambered 12pdr, 9-12pdr,
                                      9-8pdr, 4-5pdr, and 6-steenstukken

Z    Orranigh     400                   Bigger than any ship listed in 1628
Z    Mareminne    260                   Perhaps this is the Meerminne of 200 lasts
Z    Aeolus       200                   Perhaps this is the ship listed at 170 lasts in 1628
N    Samson       300
N    Gouden Leeuw 180    0      32      Listed in 1628 with a crew of 85 men
N    Eendracht    300                   Listed in 1628 with a crew of 100 and armed with 36 guns
