Published summaries identify the main English ships but often leave smaller vessels unnamed. Following references from Wikipedia's Battle of Kentish Knock article led to an obscure digitized book that supplied two missing names. The resulting order of battle draws on several layers of evidence rather than one complete contemporary roster. The fleet table is therefore a reconstruction whose entries do not all carry equal certainty.
