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?
Glorious Albania won obviously!
I love how it seems we all put a mythological creature at the front of our ships.
Innovation so great and invincible they must had to do it as a last minute measure and nowhere else was it replicated!
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
