1554 naval battle
The Battle of the Gulf of Oman was a naval battle between a large Portuguese armada under Dom Fernando de Meneses and the Ottoman Indian fleet under Seydi Ali Reis. The campaign was a catastrophic failure for the Ottomans who lost all of their ships. Seydi Ali Reis later wrote that the engagement was "worse than any he had lived through under Barbarossa".
