David Bushnell(1742-1824), a Yale graduate, designed and built a submarine
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 first successful submarine ride is generally credited to the American inventor David Bushnell, who launched his submarine, the Turtle, in 1776. However, this event did not occur in the Passaic River; it took place in New York Harbor. The Turtle was designed for underwater warfare but had limited success. The Passaic River is not historically associated with early submarine exploration.
The first submarine called The Turtle by David Bushnell was made by oak.
The first submarine was built by the state of Massachusetts. It was called the "Turtle" and was designed by David Bushnell in 1775 during the American Revolutionary War. The Turtle was a one-man vessel intended for use against British ships, but it ultimately did not achieve its intended military objectives.
