World's first submarine attack.

[mairdie]

The First Submarine Attack Happened During The Revolutionary War



FTA: There was a series of glass port holes on the top of the Turtle where its hatch met its hull. These provided light during daytime operations and a very basic view for navigational purposes. Since she would mainly operate at night, and a flame would asphyxiate her single crewman, internal illumination was provided by a cork that was covered in bioluminescent fungus.

[generally]

The sub was called the Turtle.

Mitch McConnell is also called the Turtle.

Coincidence?
