It was the kind of battle Admiral Yi had always won at, which was careful coordination of enemy movements and strategic moves, but Won Gyun allowed the Japanese to gain the upper hand and board the Korean ships and fight hand to hand combat, which was their primary strategy.
At the Battle of Hansando, Admiral Yi had instilled so much fear in the Japanese that their commander broke ranks and routed his fleet - the first and only time any Japanese commander lost courage to a foreign opponent.

Thus did Admiral Yi Sun-sin report to the throne on the Sea Battle of Hansando, (Memorial #9) sometimes called the Salamis of Korea, because that single action determined the balance of sea-power, frustrating Hideyoshi's plan for the conquest of Korea and China by cutting off the transportation of troops and supplies along the Korean coast.
Although the war continued for several years, the outcome was determined on the sea.
These Memorials to the Court not only give the first-hand official accounts of the major sea battles but also shed important light on the problems of logistics and on the political and social organization of the day.
