Man-of-war

A man-of-war (plural men-of-war; also man of war, man-o'-war or simply man) is an armed naval vessel developed in the Mediterranean in the 15th century.

Men-of-war carry cannons and are propelled primarily by sails, unlike a galley, which uses oars. The man-of-war evolved from earlier roundships with the addition of a second mast to form the carrack. The carrack was followed by the galleon and the ship of the line.
