Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Although the triumph was celebrated throughout Europe, the Christians were unable to consolidate their victory. By 1573, Venice had signed a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire, recognizing their conquest of Cyprus. [DK Timelines, p. 287] "By combining in a Holy League, the Christians had assembled 220 oared warships, chiefly from Spain, Venice, and Genoa. . . . Christendom was triumphant, yet the victory was far from decisive. . . . Lepanto stands out above all as the last great example of a style of naval warfare that had lasted for 2,000 years." [1001 Days] "The 208 galleys and six galeasses of the Christian navy mounted some 1,815 pieces of artillery, as against only 750 on the 230 Turkish galleys, and their impact proved devastating. . . . In all, the Ottoman fleet lost some 200 galleys, together with their artillery stores, and some 30,000 men. . . . It appeared to be one of the decisive battles of the century. But it was not. Galleys could be built with relative ease. . . . By April 1572, a mere six months after the defeat, some 200 galleys and five galeasses stood ready for service."
