Cornelis Tromp only arrived back in the Netherlands in late 1653

While Cornelis Tromp had left Cadiz for home on 27 August 1653, he did not actually reach home until later. He arrived at the Isle of Ré on 18 September. The situation was such that he was asked to stay with the ships he had in company and wait until his chances of returning safely were better. He waited amonth, and he sailed, arriving back in the Netherlands in November 1653.

The Dutch had left 10 hired merchantment in the Mediterranean Sea to protectt shipping. They were commanded by Adriaan Rodenhaes. He stayed in the Mediterranean Sea until early 1654. He was ordered to pay off the hired ships, and no Dutch warships or hired merchantmen remained in the Mediterranean Sea. Adriaan Rodenhaes had received the order to pay off the ships on 9 February 1654.
