Cornelis Evertsen the Elder (4 August 1610 – 11 June 1666) When his father was killed in battle in 1617, the Admiralty of Zealand appointed all five of his sons as Lieutenant, including Cornelis (or Kees) and his oldest brother Johan, despite their young age. This exceptional favour was granted in recognition of the great merits of the father and of course prevented his family from becoming destitute

How old was Cornelius Evertsen when he was commissioned to rank in 1617?
Congratulations and well done. You got it. Over to you.
Very interesting choice there. Thank you for the hint, made all the difference.
HNLMS Evertsen, namesake of a class of coastal defense battleships.
It looks like she only saw action against her fellow countrymen.
Launched in 1894, decommissioned in 1913.
The Evertsens had no less than 8 ships named after them. The current class of frigates are very sharp looking.

Okay guys, here's mine:
Who is this?
Okay, I'll see what I can come up with
yours duke.
Duke is correct in thats what finally got her. but that was after she'd been attacked at least a half dozen times over a couple of years, by mini subs, carrier borne aircraft and finally Lancasters with both conventional and 12,000 lb Tallboy bombs. Those things were so specialized and hard to make that crews returned and landed with them after unsuccessful missions.
What really sank her in the bigger picture was what sank most of the lost DKM surface units and most of the subs- a Navy with no appreciable air cover.
I think he wants the Tallboy bomb. I think that's what it was called.
not what i am looking for.

actually no as the "QE" & "R" classes were designed from the start to use oil as fuel instead of coal.
Yes indeed as the Europeans all fueled with coal.

none of the oil burning battleships served overseas during ww1 because of possible oil shortage.
