“But Obama says we now have ships that go underwater.........”

Ha, I believe there was one in the Civil War...The H L Hunley. The Hunley was built, launched and used by the Confederacy The Hunley succeeded in sinking one Union ship, the 1240-short ton screw sloop USS Housatonic on Union blockade duty in Charleston’s outer harbor. In an effort to break the naval blockade of the city, Lieutenant George E. Dixon and a crew of seven volunteers attacked Housatonic, successfully embedding the barbed spar torpedo into her hull. The torpedo was detonated as the submarine backed away, sending Housatonic and five of her crew to the bottom in five minutes.
