How were Dutch 74s and 60-gun ships armed?

Did Dutch 74- and 60-gun ships carry 24- or 32-pounders on the lower deck?

It depended on the ship; one representative arrangement used 36-pounders below and 24-pounders on the upper gun deck.

Armament differed by ship, so no single answer covers every Dutch 74 or 60-gun vessel. One example used 36-pounders on the lower gun deck and 24-pounders above, making it heavily armed for its size. Staten Generaal nevertheless withdrew after fighting Admiral Duncan's flagship, HMS Venerable, at Camperdown. Venerable's own battery included 32-pounders and 18-pounders, though the smaller-gun counts are recalled less clearly.
