	Those who dare: Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to 1592. Destination, Korea!
		For the Japanese, the battle illustrated their response to the often overwhelming firepower of the allies and was just one more example of the kind of ingenuity displayed by Japanese field commanders throughout the war.
		The battle was bittersweet however, as the major Japanese commanders, including Konishi Yukinaga, were able to escape in the confusion and Korea’s Admiral Yi Sunsin was struck by a musket ball and died in battle, after telling his trusted subordinates to conceal his death from the rest of the army.
		Nevertheless this battle served as a fitting exclamation point to the war and afforded the Koreans the opportunity to exact at least some small measure of revenge for the depredations they had suffered at the hands of the Japanese over the previous seven years.
