In fact, galleons were so versatile that a single vessel might be refitted for wartime and peacetime roles several times during its lifespan. The galleon was the prototype of all square-rigged ships with three or more masts for over two and a half centuries, including the later

Therefore, most galleons were originally consigned for trade, although those captured by rival states were usually put into military service.
