A minor revelation

I am working on a list of ships in Michiel De Ruyter's fleet that was employed as convoyers in the Channel in the late summer of 1652. That fleet also fought a defensive battle against Sir George Ayscue's fleet off Plymouth, on 26 August 1652, and kept them at bay. Of course, Sir George's tactics left something to be desired: he charged the Dutch fleet without establishing any order. He employed the same sort losing tactics that Blake used at the Battle of the Kentish Knock and on the first day of the Battle of Portland. The minor revelation I had was when I looked at the Rotterdam ship Sint Pieter (28 guns and a crew of 122 men), commanded by Jan Janszoon van der Valch, and realized that this was the Rotterdam Directors' ship. The Sint Pieter's commander had been Sijmon Corneliszoon van der Meer, but he was ill, and was replaced by his lieutenant. Sijmon Corneliszoon van der Meer had apparently reassumed command of the Sint Pieter by the summer of 1653.
