The 16 ships of the Admiralty of Amsterdam funded in 1648

At the Peace in 1648, ending the Dutch rebellion against Spain, 40 convoyers were funded to be kept in service. This is my attempt at a list:
Amsterdam (16 ships)

Adm Ship                Guns Crew Date Commander
A   Achilles            28   100  1644 Gillis Schey
A   Bommel              30   100  1645 Pieter van Brakel
A   Dolphijn            32   120  1633 Gerbrand Schatter
A   Edam                28   100  1644 Barent Cramer
A   Gouda               28   100  1636 Jan Egbertsz Ooms
A   Leiden              28   100  1647 Cornelis Cornelisz Jol
A   Star                28   100  1644 Jacob Paulusz Cort
A   Utrecht             30   100  1633 Jan Roetering
A   Westfriesland       28   100  1648 Hendrik Huyskens
A   Zutphen             26   100  1636 Ewout Jeroenszoon
A   Brak                18    70  1649 Pieter van Zalingen
A   Windhond            18    70  1649 Dirk Pietersz Heertjens
A   Overijssel          28   100  1650 Jan van Campen
A   Zeelandia           32   120  1643 Jacob Huyrluyt 
A   Fazant              32   120  1646 Jan Jansz de Lapper
A   Engel Gabriel       ?    ?    1636 
Given that we do not know the armament or crew of this ship named Engel Gabriel, perhaps it could be the ship commanded by Abraham van der Hulst in 1652. We only know of this ship, as it is no.16 in Vreugdenhil's list. I have not seen the ship mentioned anywhere else, by name.
