Galai

Penggunaan galai dalam peperangan mencapai puncaknya pada pada penghujung abad ke-16 dengan pertempuran-pertempuran seperti yang berlangsung di Lepanto pada 1571, salah satu pertempuran laut terbesar yang pernah terjadi. Akan tetapi menjelang abad ke-17 kapal-kapal layar dan kapal-kapal hibrida seperti sabak menggeser penggunaan galai dalam perang laut. Galai adalah kapal perang yang paling lazim digunakan di Samudera Atlantik sepanjang Zaman Pertengahan, dan kelak masih digunakan secara terbatas di Karibia, Filipina, dan Samudera Hindia pada permulaan Zaman Modern, sebagian besar sebagai kapal patroli dalam pemberantasan bajak laut. Sejak pertengahan abad ke-16 galai sesekali digunakan di Laut Baltik yang pendek-pendek jarak tempuh antar lokasinya dan memiliki banyak gugus pulau. Galai sempat muncul kembali di medan perang pada abad ke-18 dalam peperangan antara Rusia, Swedia, dan Denmark.

Definisi dan terminologi

Istilah "galai" berasal dari bahasa Yunani Zaman Pertengahan galea, yakni versi lebih kecil dari dromon, kapal perang utama angkatan laut Bizantium.
