Battle Submerged

Description

THE SUBMARINE is basically an American advancement, however inits the improvement the United States has consistently slacked behind her sister sea countries. During the War for Independence the baby, United States had started submarine fighting with David Bushnell’s hand-impelled however inept Turtle. Ironically, maybe, the primary warship in history to be sunk in combat by a submarine was the USS Housatonic—destroyed by the crude hand-worked Confederate submarine Hunleyon February 17, 1864. Other countries—France, Italy, and Germany—had equipped their naval forces with submarines a long time before the parent country commissioned the first of John P. Holland’s submerged torpedo-boats on April 11, 1900. Toward the finish of World War II, we were still attempting to find our late foes with the exception of in one thing: staff. We might not have had the best submarines in the world, yet by the record, we had the world’s best submarines.
