All the best.Tromp Danish admiral general
After the death of the Dutch commander-in-chief of the Danish fleet Koert Adelaer in November 1675, Tromp took over his duties on 8 May 1676. He was appointed Knight in the Order of the Elephant. On 11 June, he defeated the Swedish fleet in the Battle of Öland, the first time he achieved a victory as a fleet commander. On 7 July he recaptured Ystad. In December, he was elevated to Grail van Syllisborg by Christiaan V of Denmark. In 1677 he destroyed Öland. Meanwhile (April 1676) De Ruyter had been killed, but Tromp could not take over his position as long as he was in Danish service; that is why he started steering his resignation by imposing exorbitant demands, helped by a growing anti-Dutch vote among the Danes who were displeased with the diminution of Dutch aid now that they were successful - after all, the Republic strived for an equilibrium. in the Baltic. On 8 May 1678 he indeed obtained his resignation. After that, however, he participated in an attack by the Elector of Brandenburg on Rügen, then Swedish possession.
