Launched in July 1863, the
HL Hunley was the
CSA's response to the
Union Blockade that had choked off most of the
Confederacy's supply lines. Torpedo boats and rams had made up much of the
Confederate Navy, and were more or less, ineffective. Previous semi-successful attempts at building submarine boats had been tried, but only one had managed to sink a
Union Warship. This boat was the
Hunley. On
February 17, 1864, the
Hunley crept out of
Charleston Harbor under cover of darkness and water. The crank powered sub, crewed by eight men, managed to embed the spar torpedo in the blockade ship
USS Housatonic. The sub's propeller was reversed, and she tried to make her way back to port. The torpedo exploded (some historians say it did so prematurely), and the
Hunley sank, taking down all eight of her crew. The
Housatonic also went down, taking with her five men. To this day, no one knows the exact reason for Hunley's foundering. - Bryan Tan
