The Turtle Ship is an early incarnation of the Ironclad for tactical purposes, and is best used to defend coastlines. Thanks to its high Combat Strength, it can easily fight off enemy Caravels and even Frigates. Its main drawback is that, unlike the Caravel that it replaces, it can't roam around the oceans, which means that the Koreans have to wait until they get Frigates to start exploring other continents.

== Trivia ==
* The Japanese gave these ships names like mekurabune (盲船, "blind ship"), and a popular Japanese play of the later Edo period called them bokkaisen (沐海潛, "sea-bathing diver"), describing them as demonic ships which General Katou Kiyomasa (general of the contemporary invasion force) has to defeat.
* The first time these ships were used was in the Battle of Sacheon against the Japanese in the Imjin War, led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
