  Battle of Lepanto (1571) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ali Pasha (Ali Paşa), supported by the buccaneers Chulouk Bey of Alexandria and Uluj Ali (Uluch Ali) was at the head of approximately 220-230 galleys, 50-60 galliots, and some smaller vessels belonging to the Ottomans and their vassals.
Some naval historians argue that this lack -- especially in that it led to the capture and execution of Ali Pasha, with his head displayed prominently during the battle -- was one of the decisive factors in the Ottoman defeat at Lepanto.
Uluj Ali was forced to flee with 16 galleys and 24 galliots, abandoning all but one of his captures.

 Battle of Lepanto (1571) - Open Encyclopedia
Ali Pasha (Ali Paşa), supported by the buccaneers Chulouk Bey of Alexandria (also called Scirocco, Mehmet Shuluk or Suluk Pasha) and Uluj Ali (or Uluch Ali; later known as Kilitch Ali), was at the head of approximately 220-230 galleys, 50-60 galliots, and some smaller vessels belonging to the Ottomans.
Some naval historians argue that the lack, especially in that it led to the capture and execution of Ali Pasha, with his head displayed prominantly during the battle, was one of the decisive factors in the Ottoman defeat at Lepanto.
In the South off-shore side, Doria was engaged in a melee with Uluj Ali's ships taking the worse part, meanwhile Uluj Ali commanded 16 galleys in a fast attack on the Centre, taking 6 Christian galleys, among them the "capitana" of Malta, from the Knights Hospitallers, killing everyone on board.

 The Galley in Combat
The vicious battle of attrition in the center that ensued remained unresolved until Ali Pasha was felled by a musket ball and his galley taken.
By then, Uluj Ali had outmaneuvered Andrea Doria on the offshore flank to fall onto the exhausted Christian center with brutal effect, creating a melee in which the advantage lay with the lighter Turkish galleys.
Had Uluj Ali arrived a bit earlier, or had Ali Pasha hung on a bit longer, the outcome might have been quite different.

 Battle of Lepanto
Ali Pacha (Ali Pasha), supported by the buccaneers Chulouk Bey of Alexandria (also called Scirocco, Mehmet Shuluk or Suluk Pasha) and Uluj Ali (also known as Uluch Ali or Kilitch Ali), was at the head of approximately 220-230 galleys, 50-60 galliots and some smaller vessels belonging to the Ottomans.
The Turkish fleet consisted of 54 galleys and 2 galliots in its Right, or northern, division, under Chulouk Bey, 61 galleys and 32 galliots in the center under Ali Pasha and about 63 galleys and 30 galliots in the South off-shore, under Uluj Ali.

Some authorities consider that the significant differences between the two sides amounted only to the larger, longer-ranged, broadside cannon on the Venetian galleases; to the thick armour of the Spanish infantry; and to the large numbers of Muslim archers.

Galleys were contributed by the various Christian factions: 108 Venetian galleys and 6 Venetian galleases, 13 from Habsburg Spain, 30 from Habsburg Naples, 6 from Habsburg Sicily, 3 from Genoa, 3 from Savoy, 3 from Malta, 12 Papal ships, and 28 privately owned galleys.
Ali Pacha (Ali Pasha), supported by the buccaneers Chulouk Bey of Alexandria, (also called Scirocco or Suluk Pasha) and Euldj Ali (Uluch Ali or Uluj Ali) was at the head of approximately 220-230 galleys, 50-60 galliots and some smaller vessels belonging to the Ottomans.
As the battle started, Doria found that Ali's galleys extended further to the south than his own, and so headed south to avoid being out-flanked.

And in fact, although the Turks were able to put an enormous number of galleys to sea in the following years, they assiduously avoided combat with the Christian fleet—and with good reason, for the lack of experts rendered their galleys uncertain tactical instruments.
To be sure, Uluj Ali wrought prodigies as Kapudan Pasha, facing off the allied fleet in 1572 and retaking Tunis from the Spanish in 1574.
But the recapture of Tunis was Ottoman seapower's last gasp; the Constantinople-based galley fleet fell into decay in the aftermath of Uluj Ali's triumphant return and never regenerated.

Two worthy of mention were Calabrians from the foot of Italy, one called Chiaffer Reis and the other called Uluj Ali or Occhiali, the first father-in-law to the second, the second a novice in the Roman Catholic church until kidnapped and bought out of slavery by his future father-in-law.
The father-in-law was destined in 1570 to succeed his son-in-law as Ottoman governor of Tripoli, while the son-in-law was to become the last in a line from Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa of accomplished Ottoman fleet admirals.
Early on, though, Chiaffer Reis and Uluj Ali had a habit of piloting flotillas of fast galliots in pursuit of Italian shipping en route from the Near and Middle East or between occupied islands.

Point Scropha The Left and Centre galleases had been towed half a mile ahead of the Christian line, and were able to sink 2 Turkish galleys, and damage some more, before the Turkish fleet left them behind.
The Christian Center also held the line with the help of the Reserve, after taking a lot of damage, and caused great damage to the Muslim Center.

His Grand Vezir, Ali Pasha, as he escorted the two commanders on board, remarked jovially: "Here we have two good-humoured gentlemen, always ready to relish coffee and opium, embarking on a pleasure-trip to the islands.
I wager that their ships are amply laden with Arabian beans and extract of henbane." But in terms of Mediterranean warfare the Sultan had an especial respect for the skill and experience of Dragut, also for that of a rising corsair, Uluj Ali, at present with him in Tripoli.

Only Melilla and Ceuta, Spanish territory in North Africa and once important presidios, today remind us of the economic and military threat to Spain from this activity in North Africa.
To counter the threat as well as to provide defense against pirates (like ‘Uluj ‘Ali, the Bey of Algiers, who drove the Spanish out of Tunis in 1569), the Spanish king Ferdinand V built a line of presidios along the North African coast between 1509 and 1511.
To supplement the presidios, the Spanish also built major defense works throughout southern Italy and by 1567 more than three hundred watchtowers existed throughout the kingdom.
