A point about the timeline

In the openning sentence of the article, the names Piri Reis and Seydi Ali Reis were given together. This may give the impression that they were the coadmirals of the fleet. Actually this was not the case. Piri Reis was the commander up to 1552, in 1552 the commander was Murat Reis the Elder and after Murat, Seydi Ali Reis was appointed as the admiral. He arrived in Basra no earlier than 1554. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
