The Battle of Myeongryang took place on October 26, 1597, during the Imjin War, a conflict between the Korean Joseon Dynasty and Japan. This naval battle was fought in the Myeongryang Strait, where the Korean fleet, led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin, faced a much larger Japanese force. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Yi's strategic use of the narrow strait allowed his forces to achieve a decisive victory. Admiral Yi Sun-sin's tactics included utilizing the geography of the area and his innovative turtle ships, which were armored vessels designed to withstand enemy attacks. The victory at Myeongryang significantly boosted Korean morale and demonstrated the effectiveness of Yi's leadership, contributing to the eventual repulsion of Japanese forces from Korea.
