A S the 15th day of the fourth lunar month was set aside as the memorial
service day for the Queen consort of King Sŏngjong, it was
unthinkable that Yi Sun-sin, Left (i.e. Eastern) Naval Commande r
of Chŏlla province, should attend his office.
If any work should arise out of Yi's share of the important responsibility
for the maritime defence of Korea, then it would have to be done very
discreetly, but in fact there had been little to occupy him recently. He had
spent the last two days practising his archery, and the day before that had
watched the test firing of cannon from the deck of the newly built vessel that
was his pride and joy. They called it a turtle ship, and it was almost ready for
commissioning into the Korean Navy.
