C.S.S. Hunley

[ccga3359]

Well I never realised submarines had been invented that long ago, but since seeing this thread I googled the story of the Hunley and viewed a couple of websites and Wilkipedia. Thanks for making this forum such a great learning tool and you should be very proud of your participation.

Yes the C.S.S. Hunley is the first successful submarine attack, unfortunately at the loss of all hands. They even tested submarines in the Thames in the 15th century.
