At least one Japanese invasion was defeated by the mighty Turtle Ships!

Okay, why not Dragon Ships? or Sea Monster Ships? why Turtle??

Cannons all around, arrow firing poets all around, 2 foot spikes on the top... possibly poisonous fumes belching from the mouth of the dragon head....

To this day General/Admiral Lee Soon-shin is a national hero of Korea.

Must have been a formidable ship in its day.
