[edit] some more info

The panoksun was made of sturdy pine wood, and the rivets made of oak. there were some cases where the wood had to be bent. This was done by putting a wooden board over a fire, while pouring water from the top. Reminds me, it's kind of similar to how the romans made thir shields. Another different thing I'd like to add is the Japanese boats were not as manueverable like the panoksun. The panoksun was capable of rotating 360 degrees, while the Japs had to stick with a u-turn. The seki-bunes were not logistical support vessels, but rather a light varation of the ataka bune class and the O-ataka bune class. Logistical support vessels were called kobaya, a single decked boat with one primitive deck house. It was barely 15 feet long.
