Disambiguation for Admiral Lee

A redirect of Lee to Yi may not be adequate. Willis Lee was a U.S. admiral of WWII, and I suspect there were other admirals named Lee. Howard C. Berkowitz 13:43, 16 July 2008 (CDT)

Okay. So you made the disambiguation page? (Chunbum Park 14:05, 16 July 2008 (CDT))
I haven't done so, but I can. How should it read for this admiral?

Don't worry about the first two lines not being together; I still am learning about the r template.

Great start!

He's always been a figure of interest to me, who has had far too little coverage. I'll try to get you some general naval historical information that shows his reputation in professional circles, but won't insert it so I'm free to nominate for Approval.

If at all possible, give more English-language sources, or minimally translations as well. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

There's now an Admiral Yi class of KDK destroyers. [1]; she has operated with European anti-piracy forces in the Gulf of Aden. [2] U.S. Naval War College study on US-ROK maritime cooperation mentions him: [3]
There's occasional support for the idea that the ROK Navy, perhaps even faster than Japan and China, is trying to become a blue water force capable of intercontinental power projection. Admiral Yi tends to be cited in a godlike way when this is discussed. It is interesting to find the 4500-ton KDKs mentioned here, when the US equivalent Burke-class is over 9000.
