English term or phrase: galleass
The fleet comprised at least 90 galleys, 15 heavily armed galleasses, and 48 lighter galliots carrying over 18,000 soldiers. (Flota lui Mahomed al II-lea)

The galleass (known as a "mahon" in Turkey) developed from large merchant galleys. Converted for military use they were higher and larger than regular ("light") galleys. They had up to 32 oars, each worked by up to 5 men. They usually had three masts and a forecastle and aftcastle.

Este o galeră cu trei catarge, puțin mai mare (cu o treime) decât galerele obișnuite. N-am întâlnit "galeasă", văd că a apărut de câteva ori, dar în DEX=ul meu și DEX-ul supliment nu l-am găsit.
Știu când se spune că "am lucrat la galere", d-ar nu am auzit de "galese"...
