Not neccesarily, the Dutch Republic had ships of the line aswell, such as the Zeven Provincieen, which as i recall was a 74-gun ship. Which certainly isn't small. Certainly calling it's trading vessels small would be pretty wrong. Fluyts and indiamen like the batavia were not small, they were...

under dutch leaders you post leopold and paul kruger?
