Pdaitabird Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Where does a Confederate submarine go? Historic Themes, Pirates, or Special Themes? Moderators, feel free to move this topic to the appropriate forum. The H. L. Hunley was launched in 1863 and was the first (somewhat) successful military submarine, sinking the Union ship Housatonic before going down with all hands. HL Hunley by the chestertonian, on Flickr The Hunley was powered by a hand crank and was quite cramped for its 8-man crew. This MOC is approximately scaled to the minifig, as the real Hunley was less than 40 feet long. More information about the real Hunley can be found here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/H-L-Hunley The MOC includes moving dive planes and rudder. The spars on the prow are for placing mines on enemy ships, and air exchange tubes are located behind the forward conning tower. Thanks for looking!
