The '''galleass''' was an attempt by [[Mediterranean]] trading nations at designing a hybrid [[galleon]]/ [[galley]] in the second half of the 16th century. The sheer hull size required to accept the masts and rigging of a large sailing ship made the vessel ineffective as an oared fighting ship. They were included in the [[Spanish Armada]] but found themselves even more ineffective in the turbulent waters of the [[Atlantic]].
