It saw a massive investment in the Imperial Naval Fleet and merchant marine of Caphiria and likewise the various navies of the coastal Latium and their merchant fleets/trading companies.

In the Levantine sphere it saw the introduction of galleons which eventually overtook carracks as the primary ship for overseas navigation.
