Ramming ships, as a naval tactic, date back to ancient civilizations, with the earliest documented use by the Greeks in the 7th century BCE. The Greeks designed triremes, which were warships equipped with a bronze ram at the prow, specifically for this purpose. While no single individual can be credited with the invention, the strategic use of ramming ships significantly influenced naval warfare in antiquity. The design and tactics evolved over time, with various cultures adopting and adapting the concept.
