Nah ! USS Hunley gets the 2nd build, first build is the USS Turtle. First American submarine in combat! Built by a Connecticut inventor named Bushnell. Tried but failed to sink a British ship in the Revolution. It also successfully brought the crew (crew of 1 !) back!

Arguably subs are the most lethal, if i was asked to propose a future study of underwater boats i could go the route of building drone subs that mimic biologicals, like killer whales, tens of thousands built, badically advanced AI super torpedos that can sit on station for months, are deep diving, can surface to launch aerial drones or themselves launch advanced torpedos. Infiltrators.Terminators.

...first build is the USS Turtle.

People will think they named it after Mitch McConnell.
