the five different Dutch admiralties, including also the Admiralty of Zeeland, Admiralty of West-Friesland, Admiralty of Amsterdam and the Admiralty of Rotterdam. In a few cases, it participated in international coalitions. In some sea battles the Frisian Admiralty opted out; sometimes because it was too late to join in, and sometimes because it did not have sufficient funds to raise a fleet, as in most battles of the Third Anglo-Dutch War (since Friesland and Groningen were already under attack from the bishop of Münster, Bernhard von Galen).

Famous Vlootvoogden ("Fleet Guardians") and other notable officers of the Frisian Admiralty Due to the small initial size of the fleet of the Frisian Admiralty, in its first period no flag officers were appointed, though Van den Broeck functioned as an acting rear-admiral in 1652. This situation lasted until the Second Anglo-Dutch war, when, in 1665, a full hierarchy of three admirals was created. After 1691, however, no vice-admiral was appointed and after 1723 again no flag officers were present at all.
