At random: The first submarine which actually sank another enemy vessel under combat conditions was the CSS HUNLEY built during the Civil War. The Union frigate HOUSATONIC on blockade station off Charleston, S. C. was the victim. The incident occurred on February 17, 1864.

We are in trouble. This boat last deployed 9 years ago, and won't get out of the yards for 5 more years (supposedly). When it hits the fan, we're screwed. You're right Owen, they should not have closed Mare Island. Maybe Helen's would still be open.

Very incompetent that we do not have shipyard capacity to build new ships and maintain the existing fleet.

We are supposed to be a seafaring nation.
