The Fifth India Armada was assembled in 1503 on the order of King Manuel I of Portugal and placed under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque. It was Albuquerque's first trip to India. It was not a particularly successful armada - navigational mistakes scattered the fleet on the outward journey. Ships spent much time looking for each other and several ended up travelling alone.

  • The Fifth India Armada was assembled in 1503 on the order of King Manuel I of Portugal and placed under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque. It was Albuquerque's first trip to India. It was not a particularly successful armada - navigational mistakes scattered the fleet on the outward journey. Ships spent much time looking for each other and several ended up travelling alone. The vanguard arrived in India just in time to rescue Portuguese-allied ruler of Cochin from a land invasion by the Zamorin of Calicut. Anticipating a new invasion, the armada erected Fort Sant'Iago in Cochin, the first Portuguese fort in Asia (under the command of Duarte Pacheco Pereira, its first captain-general). It also established the third Portuguese factory in India at Quilon. One of the squadrons of the armada, under António de Saldanha, missed the crossing to India, and ended up spending the year preying along the East African coast. Captains of this squadron made several significant discoveries - such as Table Bay (South Africa) and, more importantly, the strategic island of Socotra (near the Gulf of Aden). They also exacted tribute from Zanzibar and Barawa. (en)
  • La Quinta Armata d'India (pt 5.ª Armada da Índia) fu allestita nel 1503 su ordine del re Manuele I del Portogallo e posta sotto il comando di Alfonso de Albuquerque. Fu il primo viaggio di Albuquerque in India. Non fu una spedizione particolarmente riuscita: errori di navigazione dispersero la flotta all'andata, le navi persero molto tempo tentando di ricongiungersi e molte finirono per viaggiare da sole. L'avanguardia arrivò in India appena in tempo per salvare il sovrano alleato portoghese di Kochi da un'invasione via terra da parte dello Zamorin di Calicut, provocata dall'operato della Quarta Armata d'India (Gama, 1502). Anticipando una nuova invasione, i portoghesi eressero Forte Sant'Iago a Kochi, il primo forte portoghese in Asia, al comando di Duarte Pacheco Pereira quale primo capitano generale. Stabilirono anche la terza feitoria in India a Quilon. Uno degli squadroni dell'armata, al comando di António de Saldanha, perse la traversata per l'India e finì per trascorrere l'anno a pirateggiare lungo la costa dell'Africa orientale. I capitani di questo squadrone fecero diverse scoperte significative, come Table Bay (Sudafrica) e, cosa più importante, l'isola strategica di Socotra (vicino al Golfo di Aden). Oltre a ciò, pretesero tributi a Zanzibar e Barawa. (it)
