From the Korean perspective, Admiral Yi Sun-Sin (Yi Soon Shin) successfully repelled the invading Japanese forces (during the Imjin War 1592-1598) at sea due to his adeptness in the field of naval command. He is known for never having lost a battle throughout his career. This allowed the kingdom of Joseon (Korea) to maintain its sovereignty for the next three centuries. As a result he is hailed as a national hero in Korea to the present day.
