[edit]

According to the battle infobox, the Dutch fleet had 201 ships, of which 24 were burned, and the Allied Anglo-French fleet had 107 ships, of which 54 were burned and 11 were captured. This is not accurate in any way, and contradicts information in the article, which places fleet strengths at about 105 Dutch and about 122 British and French, with neither fleet losing a ship. Moreover, somebody replaced Admiral de Ruyter with Willem Van de Velde, the artist, again in the infobox. The infobox also does not state that the British were involved in any way, and claims that the French commander is unknown. This appears to have been vandalized by somebody with at least some knowledge of the subject. I am changing it to make it accurate.Keegsshipguy (talk) 04:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
