To break the union blockade.
the first true submarine.
The Hunley is currently undergoing restoration and research in Charleston, S.C., site of her attack on the USS Housatonic.
I believe it stands for Horace Lawson Hunley, who was the developer of the submarine.
The H.L. Hunley, a Confederate submarine, sank the USS Housatonic on February 17, 1864, by using a spar torpedo. The attack resulted in the sinking of the Housatonic, leading to the deaths of five crew members. The Hunley itself was lost shortly after the attack, with all eight of its crew perishing, making it the first combat submarine to sink an enemy warship, but at a tragic cost.
Hunley
The Confederacy led in the experimentation with submarines. The most successful was the HL Hunley. This submarine sunk a Union warship however the sinking ship damaged the submarine that also sank.
Technically, the first submarine to be built for use by the CSA and sunk was the Pioneer, one of the 3 submarines built by Horace L. Hunley, who also built the the American Diver, and his most famous creation, the H.L. Hunley, which was credited with the first successful combat sinking of a ship during wartime. The Hunley had actually sank twice prior to its final mission, being salvaged both times.Pioneer, built in February, 1862, and had to be scuttled just a month later due to the advancing Union forces on Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was built in 1863 using a boiler as a template. Having sank twice previously before her historic mission in Charleston Harbor, she was finally placed into service February 17, 1864, the day of the attack on the USS Housatonic, and the day she sank for the final time.
The duration of The Hunley is 1.57 hours.
