A re-enactment of a heroic sea battle held 418 years ago will be conducted from Aug. 10 in the waters off Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province. In the Hansan Daecheop, or Great Battle of Hansan, Korean naval ships led by Adm. Yi Sun-shin destroyed an invading Japanese armada. Over 100 ships will take part in the re-enactment, which will be the highlight of the commemorative Hansan Daecheop Festival.
