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
