One of the Commonwealth navy commanders who continued under the Restoration. On 15 April 1660 was given command of the Newbury in place of Robert Blake, as part of the reshuffling that removed Capt. Deakins from Montagu's fleet.
L&M don't have much else to say about him: "Held commands in both the First and Second Dutch Wars; killed in action in 1666."

Coppin, John - was appointed captain of the Centurion of forty-eight guns in the year 1660. In the year 1665 he was promoted to the St. George, a second rate. He commanded his ship at the bloody conflict of four days continuance between the Dutch fleet under De Ruyter, and the English under the Duke of Albemarle and Prince Rupert. Here, with many other brave men, he fell exhibiting that gallantry which merited a more fortunate, but not more glorious end.
