Welcome back! Today we are continuing on with the story of Admiral Yi Sun-Sin, looking at the final years of his life. Specifically, I focus on his "last stand" at the Battle of Myeongnyang, as well as the Battle of Noryang. After the narrative, I spend time doing some character analysis and talk about the qualities that made him great.
