As part of the new construction program initiated during the First Anglo-Dutch War, seven new ships had come into service with the Admiralty of Zeeland between 1653 and July 1654. I have based this list upon the appendix in Vol.I of J. C. De Jonge's book, Geschiedenis van het Nederlandsche Zeewezen. This is the list, with ship names applied, based on the Staet van Oorlog te Water for the year 1654:
Ship name Guns Crew Length Beam Hold Commander
Zeelandia 50 95 136 34 13.75 Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge
Utrecht 40 95 134 33 13.5
Vlissingen 40 95 130 34 13.5 Frans Mangelaer
Middelburg 40 90 130 34 13.5 Cornelis Evertsen de Oude
Kampveere 40 90 130 34 13.5 Pieter Gorcum
Dordrecht 40 90 130 34 13.5
