Action of 14 July 1616
This battle took place on 14 July-16 July 1616 near Cape Khelidonia, south-eastern Turkey, between a small Spanish fleet under Ribera, and a large Turkish galley fleet. It was the first regular fleet action between sailing ships, which had been introduced to the Mediterranean Sea in about 1609, and galleys, which had reigned supreme for millennia.
