Admiral YI naval very unbalance than Japan naval (56 for Korea, 73 for Japan), but Yi won by use great tactics. Japan casualties are 66 ships destroyed, and more than 9000 soldier died. Korea casualties just 19 died, without ship destroyed.

Although I've had an interest in naval history for some time, I know nothing about this. So I was very interested to read something about Korean naval history and the ships involved. Thanks for posting this.

I just found it on the internet, and I think it's so amazing, and part of the history. BTW, it seems you not just interested about naval, but interested about soldier on the past too. right????
