The advijsjacht Loopende Hert was apparently built in 1662. I believe that the Loopende Hert took part in the Four Days' Battle in early June 1666. Ron van Maanen has the details, which Dr. Weber apparently had not seen. I conveniently do not have my copy of Dr. Weber's book along with me, so I cannot check it (
but I wrote about this in the past). I just have Ron's document "'Oorlogsschepen' van de admiraliteit van de Maze in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw":
