Why YSS is so great compare to Nelson or Togo

[YSS]

Hi. I'm the one who posted "Some more info about admiral YSS." The reason why I wrote my thread was to share with other how great YSS was and by knowing it, many can be more hooked on and enjoy the drama.

I'm quite happy that I was able to start the discussion that made others to talk about the history. And while I was reading I found an interesting point saying Togo was appraising YSS to make their enemy worthy to make themself look better and let me try to answer to that.

The reason why admiral Togo or others appraise YSS is not just because he fought and won with outnumbered forces and ships but without any support from the government. As it is written in the history and would see in the drama, YSS gets no support from the cabinets but gets entraped when the other great generals of victory(from all countries in all ages) gets full support.

This is the status of the 23 battles YSS won and you can see the greatness of this amazing hero.

Where did you get this info YSS?

130 Chosun Naval troops died in a single battle, along with over 2,000 Ming troops. But other than that, great facts.

There's a Korean portal called naver.com and it provides a service called 'Knowledge In' which participants answer to a questions asked.

Woe, I thought so, too. Maybe the original writer must have skipped the status with union with Ming troops. Maybe its because it wasn't YSS's fault.

And there might be some mistakes to the facts i wrote because I was sort of drunk when I wrote it(and I can't fix it because I'm not logged in!). Sorry.

Oh BTW, Please don't get me wrong by the title I wrote.
I'm not trying to claim Nelson or Togo is any less than YSS.
It's what admiral Togo said in the interview.

[IAPD3000]

Who were Nelson and Togo? How do you compare them with YSS?

I just read the thing and I believe that so many of Japanese and Chinese lost many soldiers than Choson (Chosun)?

Vice Admiral...Horatio, 1st Viscount Nelson... is the greatest naval hero in British history and Admiral Tôgô Heihachirô led Japanese Naval forces to victory against Czarist Russia in 1905, thereby notifying the world of Japan's emerging military power.

The three men in question are linked by Togo's famous post-victory quote, where he doesn't mind being compared to Nelson but places YSS at a higher level.

Heh heh. How do you wind up on the internet while you are drunk? Actually, that happened to me before. Only time in my life I ever drank alone.

Perhaps establishing some criteria for this discussion would also be appropriate. I say this only because I believe that Nelsons proper place in this conversation could be debated.

[that is]

togo learned about crane-wing formation analyzing yss 's war history so the result, he won the war with russia ships (1905)

that is the first point... yss was togo's teacher

[UMMM]

in fact YSS 's crane -wing formation is very very important in war history ... TOGO had used that formation like YSS

[TheBo]

"that is"/"ummm" - please do not post under multiple sign-in names. You have made it appear that you did so just to boost your argument by showing that someone else agreed with you, and I'm sure you did not do it for that purpose. We prefer that you choose a sign-in name and stick with it, unless you make occasional slight variations out of boredom (like "luvarchfiend" sometimes signs in as "luv" something else, LOL).

Thanks.

Bo

In the light of your most reasonable cautionary I've reconsidered my nefarious plan to chime in as generaldon't or generalokaybutnotrightnow.

[TheBo]

You shush, general malcontent.
