The list of Noorderkwartier ship commanders on 6 December 1652

One document that I have, dated 6 December 1652, has an interesting list of ship commanders for the Admirlaty of the Noorderkwartier. I will annotate this with ship names, as I can. This is right before the Battle of Dungeness:
Admiralty ships of the Noorderkwartier
Commander                          Ship                  Guns
Schout-bij-Nacht Pieter Florissen  Monnikendam           36 guns
kapitein Cornelis Pietersz Taenman Prins Maurits         28 guns
kapitein Arent Dirckszoon          Wapen van Monnikendam 24 guns

Commander                          Ship                   Guns
kapitein Thijs Thijmensz Peereboom Peereboom              24 guns
commandeur Johannes Bourgoigne     Tobias                 30 guns
kapitein Jan Heck                  Eenhoorn               28 guns
kapitein Volckert Schram            
kapitein Teunis Vechterszoon       Schel                  24 guns
kapitein Gabriel Theuniszoon       Kasteel van Medemblick 26 guns
kapitein Harman Munnekes            

Of the two unknown ships, one could be Pieter Aldertszoon's ship Hoorn and the other could be Pieter Schellinger's ship Stad Medemblick.
