Battle of Danghangpo

26 ships[1] The Battle of Danghangpo was a naval engagement during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98) that resulted in Korean victory.

After the Battle of Dangpo, Yi Sun-sin spent the next few days searching for Japanese ships.

[1] The Korean fleet assumed a circular formation to navigate the enclosed bay and took turns bombarding the Japanese.

Realizing that this would only force the Japanese to flee inland, I Sunsin ordered a false retreat.

Falling for the ploy, the Japanese fleet gave chase, only to be surrounded and shot to splinters.
