Yi Sun-sin as a favorite naval commander

Who is your favorite non-European naval commander?

Yi Sun-sin is the leading choice.

The Korean admiral Yi Sun-sin is the leading non-European choice. The brief answer directs viewers toward a commander whose campaigns sit outside the Atlantic-centered examples that dominate much naval discussion. American admirals are grouped with the European naval tradition for this comparison. That clarification makes the category visible instead of treating European and non-European as self-explanatory labels.
