The Ottoman mix of war galleys, small craft, and cargo ships

The Ottoman order of battle is described as roughly three heavy galleys, sixty regular galleys, thirty light galleys, and forty fustas, with additional transports and cargo ships. The wider operation may have included as many as 111 palanderas. Those totals were not all necessarily present in the fighting line at the same moment. The larger combatants carried cannon, while the smallest vessels were much less likely to be armed unless a wealthy captain supplied them. Warships and transports supported an Ottoman campaign that extended beyond the naval clash.
