Dromonian Galley - Mercenary Andalusian Marines
An ancient, well-proven design, built and armed with the latest technology.Fighting effectively at sea takes skill, courage, and sea-legs in abundance.
The maritime strength of the Umayyad Caliphate was never in doubt, having successfully held Narbonne with a minimal garrison for over forty years almost entirely due to the skill of their seamen. With abundant timber resources at their disposal the ships they fielded were larger than the standard dromon-class vessels of the time, even producing large galleys. Although they generally used their fleet for raiding, as the centuries progressed the Umayyads expanded their maritime activities to directly engaging other ships at sea, combating the navy of the rival Fatimid Caliphate a dramatic move to solidify their power over the western Mediterranean.
(Mercenary Andalusian Marines)
In the past, naval warfare was just another way for infantry to fight one another. The earliest documented naval battles are those of ancient China, 'grapple and hook' battles where boarding operations and close-quarters combat decided the victor. During the early Middle Ages, the Frankish navy was of no real distinction, yet Charlemagne did maintain a sizeable navy to defend against Viking raids, which was something other kingdoms generally failed to do. At the time, the distinction between fighting on land and at sea was small, yet chiefly a matter of 'sea legs' - maintaining balance whilst toppling your opponent.
