Amsterdam Directors' ships with the fleet in May 1653

I should be able to "make news" with the list of Amsterdam Directors' ships with the Dutch fleet in May 1653. The list in Witte de With's journal for May 1653 only has captains, guns, and crew, and no ship names, except perhaps in one case:
Adm   Ship                        Guns  Crew   Commander
A-Dir Sint Matheeus               42    155    Cornelis Lourensz
A-Dir Faam                        28    108    Jacob Swart
A-Dir Rooseboom                   30    107    Bartholomeus van Rietbeeck
