What ships were sunk at the Battle of Kentish Knock?
Short answerWapen van Alkmaar was the single clear sinking, exploding during the action while other Dutch losses took different forms.
NotesThe direct answer is that Wapen van Alkmaar was the one ship clearly destroyed at Kentish Knock. It belonged to the Admiralty of the Northern Quarter. Other Dutch ships were captured, abandoned, recovered, or left the fleet overnight, so the collapse in strength was much larger than the number sunk. The distinction helps explain why the battle was a command and cohesion defeat rather than a simple tally of ships destroyed by gunfire.
