One can’t blame him, as those were the days when various parts of the world were colonized, and naval forces meant strength. The Swedish Navy lost ten ships on 10th of September 1625, which lead the king to order that the two smaller ships be built on an accelerated schedule to compensate for those they had lost. In the months that followed, King Gustav changed his orders several times, leading to total chaos and confusion for the builders. Two smaller ships (108-ft keel length) and two bigger ships (135-ft keel length) were to be built over the course of four years. It was the 16th of January in the year of 1625 that King Gustav II Adolph of Sweden directed Admiral Fleming to sign a contract with the shipbuilders of Stockholm (Hendrik and Arend Hybertsson) to build four ships.
