The Battle of Kamaran occurred in 1560 when a Portuguese squadron was ambushed and defeated off the coast of Kamaran by four galleys of Sefer Reis who seized two Portuguese ships. The Portuguese suffered a defeat by Sefer Reis in 1558 when they attempted a direct attack against his base in Mocha. The Portuguese commander Christovao Pereira Homem had set sail to the port of Massawa, here they were greeted by the Turks who caused a delay which allowed Sefer Reis to make preparations for an ambush against them. Sefer Reis disguised his ship to look like a rich spice ship from Aceh fooling the Portuguese who intended on seizing it, however they were ambushed by the Ottoman galleys who killed and captured everyone aboard two Portuguese ships while the other two fled to India.
