------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------History Lesson
1. She was built in Mobile, Alabama
2. She was nickname as a porpoise or a fish boat.
3. She sunk two times before her actual mission which results the death of her creator during test runs.
4. She sunk the Union warship USS Housatonic at the in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina after learning her existence by deserters which makes the submarine the first submarine to sink a warship which leads the foundation of underwater warfare, but went MIA after the fight.
5. She was discover in 1995 and was raised by 2000 due to her fragile status.
6. USS Housatonic is a sloop-of-war class for the Union blockade and couple of men lost theirs lives.
7. A lot of theories are going around of the submarine fate, but they believe the crew of Hunley was killed due to the explosion radius of the spar torpedo when it struck USS Housatonic.
8. A spar torpedo is a bomb on a stick or a long pole that are used for sinking warships which the end of the stick will be barbed so it will stick to the hull before detonation.
Note: The main reason of why I'm called her the Rebel Shark is because during her mission to sink a warship of the Union blockade; she was moving along side the Union ships and can't attack them due to the storm, but she was close enough to hear sailors on board of their ships and when the storm is calm. She saw USS Housatonic; she decide head straight though like a shark getting it's first meal.
Note: "This is USS Housatonic during the explosion by Hunley. She wasn't able to defend herself against the submarine and her crew have to use small arms to fight her off, but it was too late. She sunk within minutes."
Battle Results: It was a Confederate victory although it was short-lived because they lost Hunley.
Note: "If you wonder of why she wasn't called CSS Hunley or have CSS on her name is because she is a privateer submarine."
Note: "This is her human form."
