Kobukson is a turtle war ship. The most famous model of kobukson is considered a model, invented by Admiral Lee Sun Sin. He finalized the early invented models of the ship, equipped them with five types of guns. Above, the ship was covered with iron plates, which served as the armor of the ship, and which resembled the tortoise shell.

He spoke to people about Li Sung-cine, he was a hero for them. But as always, evil tongues slandered Sun Sina and, by order of the king, he was thrown into prison, and demoted to the sailors.

Japan did not miss this chance and with new forces attacked Korea. Unprepared Korean troops could not fight back. Admiral Won Gyun, who was appointed commander

Korean navy, was killed. In that battle that was in the Chhilchongnan area, the talented Admiral Lee Ok Ki, who was a close friend of Song Sin, also died.

The King liberated Sun Song Sina. There was no other choice. But by that time almost the entire Korean fleet had already been routed. There was practically nothing to command. But nevertheless, naval talents of Admiral Li Song Sin again saved the country. Admiral won the battle at Norayantshin. And in 1598, with the help of the Chinese fleet, Korea won sea battles by sinking 200 Japanese ships.

In this battle, the admiral was fatally wounded, but he asked not to talk about this to the soldiers, etc. The news of the general's death could adversely affect the military spirit of the army.
