Exaggeration on strength and casualties of Japanese forces
Since the Japanese naval forces only had less than 10,000 personnel, the statement of 70,000 of naval strength of Japanese forces in this battle is quire an exaggeration. Also, 5,000 casualties is not recorded (as far as I read). Comparing the original strength and the damage Japanese naval forces caught (128 or 400 "empty" ships), the statement of 5,000 casualties is quire unlikely.

Tactics of both naval forces
In the previous naval battles, the Japanese naval forces realized that they needed to avoid the battles over sea against the Josen naval forces due to difference on the tactics between them. Japanese naval forces' tactics was boarding, on the other hand, the Josen naval forces' tactics was utilization of fire arrows. Although the Josen naval forces introduced cannons on their ships, their firing rage was limited only around 100 meters and was not the main force. Due to such background, the Japanese forces avoided naval combat. Wiki Humanities Arao (talk) 16:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Combat in the battle
Since the Japanese forces avoided naval combat and preferred on land combat, and since the objective of the Josen forces was recovery of Busan bay then cutoff of the Japanese supply lines, the main combat was taken place on land. Then since the Japanese forces attacked the Josen forces from the higher place, the Josen forces were not able to defeat the Japanese forces then were needed to retreat. Firing empty 128 or 400 Japanese ships was collateral in this combat. Wiki Humanities Arao (talk) 16:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Japanes withdrawal from their navy forces were missing.
Once Japanese navy saw Korean navy, they withdrawed from navy while abandoning their own ships. They tried to withdraw and protect in land.≠Cite error: There are <ref>
