On this day in 1863, the C.S.S. Hunley, the worldâs firstsuccessful combat submarine, sinks during a test run, killing its inventor and seven crewmembers. Horace Lawson Hunley developed the 40-foot submarine from a cylinder boiler.
A torpedo casing may hold a key clue as to why the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley sank during the Civil War, scientists say. The new evidence suggests that the Hunley positioned itself much closer to its target â the Union ship the USS Housatonic on Feb. 17, 1864 â than previously believed. The Hunley torpedo sank the Housatonic, becoming the world's first successful combat submarine.
