Battle of Myeongnyang
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the Battle of Myeongnyang, on October 26, 1597, the Joseon admiral Yi Sun-sin fought the Japanese navy in the Myeongnyang Strait, near Jindo Island.

Given the disparity in numbers, the battle is regarded as one of Admiral Yi`s most remarkable victories.
