The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lit.) was a senior commander of the ships of the line of the navy of the Republic of Venice.

History and functions

The Venetian navy had traditionally been a galley-based force. The first organized tactical formations of sailing ships began being formed in the late 15th century. The position of Шаблон:Lang was established as the commander of the larger sailing ships built by the Venetian government, but he also assumed control—under the overall authority of the Captain General of the Sea—over all sailing ships in the battle fleet, which were mostly merchant vessels, chartered in Venice or abroad (usually from the Dutch Republic) for naval service.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

During the 17th century sailing ships of the line began to play a more important role and comprised a larger and larger portion of the Venetian battle fleet, particularly during the War of Candia.Шаблон:Sfn The increase in numbers necessitated the creation of more squadrons of sail, initially by the appointment of a second Шаблон:Lang or of a Шаблон:Lang, but on 25 May 1657 two new positions, the Шаблон:Lang and the Шаблон:Lang were created to command the second and third sailing ship divisions, while the Шаблон:Lang commanded the first division.Шаблон:Sfn

At the outbreak of the Morean War in 1684 the Republic mobilized 24 sailing ships along with 30 galleys,Шаблон:Sfn and during that conflict and the subsequent Seventh Ottoman–Venetian War, the sailing ships played the main role in fleet actions.Шаблон:Sfn During the latter two wars, when the Venetians sent as many as 36 ships of the line into battle, the senior position of Шаблон:Lang was created, who now commanded the first division of 9 ships, while the Шаблон:Lang commanded the second and so on.Шаблон:Sfn

The post of Шаблон:Lang remained the highest peacetime rank for the commanders of the Venetian sailing fleet (Шаблон:Lang).Шаблон:Sfn Appointment to the post was usually for three years.Шаблон:Sfn As distinctive signs, the flagship (the Шаблон:Lang) of the Шаблон:Lang carried a single lantern aft, the standard of Saint Mark on the starboard side aft, and on the mainmast a square ensign of Saint Mark.Шаблон:Sfn
