The main use, and the one for which there is the most evidence, was trade. There was also an Etruscan naval presence and written accounts of naval battles between the Etruscans, with the help of their allies, and the other habitants of the Mediterranean. Etruscan pirates are a controversial topic among scholars, who use the evidence supporting the idea that they existed and the contesting evidence used to argue that they didn't, or at the very least, didn't exist in the capacity they were written about.

Line 74: Line 64: An Attic red-figure [[Dionysus Cup|cup]] displays this scene, depicting what is inferred as a typical Greek pirate ship. However, the techniques seen in Etruscan ship building lean more towards defense, as is the case with merchant ships, than offense, as would be the case for pirates. Pirates, in order to have the capability of seeking out merchant ships and intercepting them, need to use ships faster than merchant ships, like warships.<ref name=":3" /> An Attic red-figure [[Dionysus Cup|cup]] displays this scene, depicting what is inferred as a typical Greek pirate ship.
