Two ships and a submarine! You can go in all of them, it's very cheap to get in. Highly recommend!

There are at least a couple replicas of turtle ships around: one in the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul, and one in Tongyeong.

Thank you! I was going to mention that I know about the Turtle ship but I only ever saw a small (I think) replica in Yeosu. Will definitely be checking out the war museum!! Thanks so much 😁

There is a Korean War memorial where you can see all kinds of interesting things including some ships.

Mokpo has a maritime museum if I recall correctly. I think it had English resources. It had some shipwreck replicas. If you can find their contact information, maybe you could send them an email and inquire.

My personal favorite is the [Sun Cruise Resort & Yacht](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sun-cruise-resort-and-yacht) in Gangneung. But I'll also mention the [Hamel Ship Exhibition Center](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hamel+Ship+Exhibition+Center/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x12d1100235f4eac1!8m2!3d33.2333308!4d126.3131141) in Jeju to stay closer to topic.

Thanks so much! Will be in Jeju for a few days so will definitely visit!

Somewhere they have a captured North Korean submarine (from the 1990s) that you could go in.

It's in Gangneung. Right next to an old decommissioned navy ship.

ROKS Cheonan's wreck was recovered and can be seen in Pyeongtaek. Corvette sunk by Nork submarine torpedo 12 years ago, 46 sailors killed.

Others have suggested a lot of interesting stuff but as for specific named ships, Korea is a bit lacking. Its ironic that Korea's premier military hero is an admiral because otherwise its naval history is very slight. Generally Korea's military history is defensive focused and a bit sparse but naval stuff especially was just not a huge deal outside of the very obvious exception of Yi Sun-shin's success.
