Rotterdam ships from the First Ango-Dutch War building program that were renamed

Until I was reading Ron van Maanen's document on the ships of Rotterdam from 1600 to 1800, I had not realized just how many of the ships that were built in the First Anglo-Dutch War building program were renamed:
New Name        Old Name       Guns  Date
Eendracht       Prins Willem   58    1653
Prins Hendrick  Holland        42-44 1653
Prins Maurits   Gelderland     39-53 1653
Prins Willem    Eendracht      42-44 1653
Utrecht         Prinses Amalia 26-48 1653
