Answer
At the Battle of Myeongnyang, the Korean navy sank or disabled 31 Japanese warships, including a battleship. The Koreans were outnumbered and outgunned, but they used a clever strategy to win. They used a narrow strait to their advantage, and they used their smaller ships to ram the Japanese ships. The Japanese ships were caught by surprise, and they were unable to maneuver in the narrow strait.
