I don't know if I'll do more of these... but the concept is cool enough.

" Yi Sun Shin (April 28; December 16, 1598), also commonly transliterated Yi Soon-shin, was a Korean naval leader noted for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598) during the Joseon Dynasty. He led the victories as the Commander of Combined Fleets (Samdo Sugun Tongjesa) of the Korean Naval fleet during Japan's April 1592 invasion. Yi is also known for his innovative use of the turtle ship the world's first armoured warship. He is reputed to be one of the few admirals to have been victorious in every naval battle (at least 23) that he commanded.

Yi was killed by a bullet in the Battle of Noryang Point in December, 1598. The royal court eventually bestowed various honors upon him, including a posthumous title of Chungmugong (Lord of Loyalty and Martial Brilliance), an enrollment as a Seonmu Ildeung Gongsin (First-class Merit Subject of War from the reign of Seonjo), a titular enfeoffment title of Deokpung Buwongun (Prince of the Court of Deokpung), and a posthumous office, Yeongijeong (Prime Minister). He also received the title of Yumyeong Sugun Dodok (Admiral of the Fleet of Ming China) posthumously.

Today, Yi is widely recognized as a hero in Korea. Yi was a contemporary of Sir Francis Drake, with the respective dates of the two's births, major victories and deaths all being within a few years of each other - but there is no reason to assume that either one ever heard of the other."
