Reis (military rank)

Reis (sometimes spelled Rais) was a Turkish military rank akin to that of a naval captain, that was commonly added to the officer's name as an epithet. Examples include:
 * Piri "Reis"
 * Turgut "Reis"
 * Uluç Ali "Reis"
 * Seydi Ali "Reis"

The rank Reis Pasha referred to an Admiral, while the Kapudan Pasha (akin to Grand Admiral; literally "Captain Pasha") title referred to the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Navy fleet.
