The Turtle ship, also known as Geobukseon (거북선), was a type of large Korean warship that was used intermittently by the Royal Korean Navy during the Joseon Dynasty from the early 15th century up until the 19th century. It was used alongside the standard Korean Panokseon warships in the fight against invading Japanese naval ships. The ship’s name derives from its protective shell-like covering.
