The outcome of the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 was significantly influenced by "the weakness of the Ottoman navy." Despite having a large fleet, the Ottoman navy faced various issues, including logistical problems, heavy casualties from earlier engagements, and an underestimation of the resolve and capabilities of the Holy League coalition forces. This weakness played a crucial role in the defeat of the Ottomans at Lepanto.
