Jeokjinpo Battle

After the Battle of Happo, further reports of an additional 13 Japanese ships prevented Yi Sun-shin and his fleet from resting long on the morning of May 8th. Admiral Yi once again ordered his fleet to pursue the Japanese in the direction of Chinhae. The Korean forces caught up with the Japanese ships at Jeokjinpo, but the Japanese officers and crew abandoned their ships and fled into the mountains before the Koreans could fire upon them. The Koreans easily sunk the 13 abandoned Japanese warships.
