HMS Conqueror ("Conks") remains to date the only nuclear-powered attack submarine credited with a wartime sinking. She sank the Argentine Light Cruiser General Belgrano (a converted American CL) during the Falklands War in 1982, using standard (not homing) torpedoes.
She was decommissioned in 1990.
He was Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto.
Submarine Force
The Hunley sank with all hands after its attack.
The H.L. Hunley was the first successful submarine attack in the US Civil War. Created to help the Southern cause, it was privately owned and built for the profits it could obtain for its owners for sinking Union vessels. It began in February of 1864 in the Charleston Harbor. The Hunley successfully sank the Union ship, Housatonic. The explosion however, damaged the Hunley and it sank with the eight man crew all lost.
The renewal of unrestricted German submarine warfare had devastating effects on shipping in 1917. In terms of tonnage, the Germans sank 540,000 tons in February 1917, 578,000 in March and 874,000 tons in April. Anti-submarine measures by the Allies, however, began to reduce this calamity.
The Confederate submarine H L Hunley sank a Federal warship, Housatonic
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.

Mario Belgrano has written: 'Belgrano'
US submarines launched weapons during the Iraqi war. In warfare against enemy ships, the British submarine Conqueror torpedoed and sank the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano in the Falklands War in 1982. Rather than hunt for the Conqueror, two Argentine destroyers rescued survivors from the General Belgrano. The Brits had two other subs in the war zone, but they missed a chance at the Argentine carrier Vienticinco de Mayo which (with her destroyers) turned back upon hearing that their cruiser had been sunk, and a sea battle between the two navies was thus avoided.
Only one US submarine sank in World War One.
