The Battle of Lepanto was the largest naval battle in Western history, involving over 450 warships. Many historians have documented that this was the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire and it has been described as "the last great galley fight". The opposing commanders were Don John of Austria and Muezzinzade Ali Pasha (who died in the battle) from the Ottoman Empire.
