The incident the Admiralty Court case of 1658 refers to occured at the Battle of Dungeness, and ended with the Hercules being taken back to the United Provinces by its captor, Bastiaan Centen, commander of the ship the Haes. As a consequence, Zachary Browne was courtmartialled, convicted and dismissed from the Commonwealth navy for incompetence. He returned to naval service under Charles II, being appointed captain in 1664. He commanded the forty gun ship the Assistance at the battle of Lowestoft, and in a number of subsequent battles in the second Anglo-Dutch war.[2]
