Today, we head to the cold, churning waters off Korea in October 1597, where one man and thirteen battered ships faced the impossible. Admiral Yi Sun-sin, disgraced, beaten, and nearly forgotten by his own government, stood against a Japanese invasion force more than twenty times his size. The Battle of Myeongnyang was not supposed to be a victory. It was supposed to be the end. Instead, it became one of the most astonishing triumphs in naval history, a masterclass in courage, discipline, and tactical genius. We’ll look at the man behind the legend, the sea that became his ally, and the battle that saved a nation. This is The Miracle at Myeongnyang: Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s Last Stand.
