		They are regarded as floating fortresses rather than warships and were never used in the open sea.
		The Koreans developed Geobukseon ("Turtle[-shaped] ships") in the 16th century to thwart the repeated attempts by Japan to invade Joseon.
		The geobukseon—designed by the admiral Yi Sun-sin—were said to be ironclads; however, they were not fully covered but just roofed with iron plates or metal thorns so that enemy soldiers could not take the ships.
