Whilst ships join battle today at a distance of over a thousand kilometers (over 600 miles), four centuries ago they confronted each other in deadly close-combat battles. In France, one ship was perfectly designed for that type of fighting: the galley. It originated in the Mediterranean 600 years BCE and was France’s combat weapon during the 17th century.
