The first submarine was called the Turtle or American Turtle. It was a one man submarine and powered like a bicycle. It was designed to attach explosive devices to the hulls of British ships. All such attempts failed.
No - the Turtle was invented during the Revolutionary War, and as such, the United States as a country (and patents) did not exist at that time. The first submarine to use patented designs was the SS-1, the U.S. Navy's first Diesel-Electric submarine, designed and built by John P. Holland.
The Turtle was brown.
