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.
On February 17, 1864, naval warfare changed forever when the Confederate submarine, the H.L. Hunley, rammed a torpedo into the Union warship U.S.S. Houstonic and sank it in Charleston harbor. The submarine, as a weapon of war, claimed its first victim in history. However, this was not the first use of a submarine for combat. David Bushnell's Turtle, built during the American Revolution, has the honor of being the first combat submarine in history.
