In fact the document doesn’t give an accurate view of the Dutch navy that year. It mentioned none of the ships of the line, the largest ship is a frigate. So I suppose it’s more a list of extra vessels which that year were fitted out. (1)

keel lighter Hoop commanded by Lieutenant Koek, armed with 12 carronades and 12-24pdr, 80 men
2 hookers, the Zeehond, commanded by Captain Ditmers, armed with 16-8pdr, 90 men and the Maasnymph, commanded by Lieutenant Bloys, armed with 14-8pdr, 75 men.
