The H.L. Hunley was a groundbreaking Confederate submarine during the American Civil War, notable for being the first combat submarine to successfully sink an enemy warship. Launched in 1863, it employed a hand-cranked mechanism for propulsion and featured a torpedo for attacking ships. The Hunley sank the USS Housatonic in February 1864, but tragically, it also sank shortly after, resulting in the loss of its entire crew. Its innovative design and combat success marked a significant milestone in naval warfare history.
