Subsections[edit]

Seems to me that this article could be improved by dividing the very long sections into subsections. --Lineagegeek (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article too long[edit]

This article is far too long and detailed. The section on the Prelude to the war is extremely lengthy. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:18, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Laurens Heermskerk[edit]

Several uncited accounts say that, after acknowledged cowardice at the Battle of Lowestoft, Heermskerk was condemned to death but fled to England, both happening in 1665. However, a Biographical account says of Heermskerk that he was one of the Dutch captains recommended for disciplinary action for their cowardly actions in the Second English War (Second Anglo-Dutch War), but he fled before he could be brought to trial, and was sentenced in absentia to perpetual banishment from the Netherlands, It adds that, in the the following year, Heermskerk helped the English in their attack on the Vlie (Holmes' Bonfire) and in 1672 was in French service, again fighting against his countrymen in the for us famous battle of Solebay.

Fox does not include Heermskerk in the number of those condemned to death after the Battle of Lowestoft, and says he arrived in England in 1666, so presumably his 1665 flight was to somewhere else.

Casualties fake[edit]

they are most likely fake sincein the Raid on Medway the dutch already scuttled 30 ships alone. Fxzeds (talk) 15:36, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The English scuttled their own ships during the Raid on the Medway and some were refloated I believe, but yes, the casualties probably aren't accurate. It seems somebody counted the losses themselfs by looking at the wikipedia pages of battles during the 2nd Anglo-Dutch War, before I edited those battles.
