		The turtle ship is one of those unique ship constructs that served a purpose and may have been a precursor to other, more interesting ships.
		To replicate that ability, we created our turtle ship with two additional pieces that snap on over the deck to represent the “shell.” When a turtle ship is shot, you remove one of those as you would remove a mast.
		If derelict, this ship gains a base move of S. Also, the shell was usually spiked or trapped in some way, meaning that you can’t board her when attacking, although the turtle ship crew can board if they choose to.

		Although he didnt design the turtle ship, as claimed, he greatly improved it and made new ones, in addition to his panokson and good cannons he would troll around the southern coast of Korean shores and trap japanese ships between the islands and in bad areas and blow them to smithereens.
		It was 1pm, and Japanese ships were colliding onto the sides, themselves, and the sharp rocks, because the knots moved so quickly--11 knots.
		But the Japanese ships who couldn't retreat because of the current charged foward in bunches...after the Japanese leader died, slowly the Japanese ships retreated-themselves damaged by current around the area.
