    Explanation: During the late 16th century AD, the newly reunited Japan attempted to invade Korea. While they saw some success on land, the two navies were greatly mismatched - the Japanese primarily used close-range boarding tactics. The Koreans used ships with complements of dozens of cannon at long-range.

    Guess who won?

      I’m saying this because I know people who treat it as the be all end all of marine combat and this would sink if only the Japanese didn’t use boarding tactics
