"The Ottoman Navy (Turkish: Osmanl\u0131 Donanmas\u0131 or Donanma-y\u0131 Hum\u00E2y\u00FBn), also known as the Ottoman Fleet, was established in the early 14th century after the Ottoman Empire first expanded to reach the sea in 1323 by capturing Karam\u00FCrsel, the site of the first Ottoman naval shipyard and the nucleus of the future Navy. During its long existence, it was involved in many conflicts and signed a number of maritime treaties."@en . . . . . . . .
