During the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Sinan served as a Janissary in the army and rose to prominence after his achievements in the 1521 Belgrade and 1522 Rhodes campaigns. During the Iraq campaign, in 1534, upon the order of Lütfi Pasha, Sinan constructed three galleys in Tatvan. He equipped these ships, which he also commanded, with weapons such as cannons and rifles to gather information about the situation of the Safavid forces.
