초록

전투거북선이나 판옥선에 탑재된 함포의 우수성은 이순신 승리의 중요한 원인이지만 당시 실전에서의 유효사거리와 관련한 연구나 평가는 찾아보기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 삼각함수 원리를 적용한 새로운 기하학적 분석 방법을 통해 임진왜란 시기 전투거북선 탑재 총통의 유효사거리와 사각구역을 밝혔다. 연구 결과, 이순신 해전에서 전투거북선이 해전 초기 조선 수군 선봉에서 적선으로 돌격하여 근접해서 적 선체를 타격했는지 여부를 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 함포의 유효사거리와 사각구역을 반영하여 이순신 해전이나 전투거북선 전술을 재조명할 필요가 있다.

Abstract

The superiority of cannons mounted on the BTS(Battle Turtle Ship) or Panokseon was a crucial factor in Admiral Yi Sun-sin's victories. However, research or evaluations regarding the effective range in practical combat situations at that time are scarce. This study addresses the effective range and blind spots of the cannons mounted on the BTS during the Imjin War period through a novel geometric analysis method applying trigonometric principles. The research results revealed that during Admiral Yi Sun-sin's naval battles, the BTS advanced to the forefront of the Joseon Navy at the beginning of the engagement, closing in on enemy ships and delivering close-range strikes to their hulls. Considering the effective range and blind spot analysis of the cannons in the future, there is a need for a reassessment of Admiral Yi Sun-sin's naval battles and the BTS tactics.
