[Tallguy]

I think that naval battle is regarded as the swansong of the ram-equipped, oar-powered galley. The galley's had cannons, but they generally fired straight forward because the sides were fully consumed with oars.

After this battle, the sail powered galleon with broadside-firing cannon became the gold standard of naval power.

Regarding the galley, a Christian edge at Lepanto was 70 of a prototype ship called the galleas which was an attempt to put galleon firepower on a galley.

Over the long run, the galleas, like the clipper ship, was a doomed concept.
