That's a debatable proposition. The Turtle came alongside the British ship
and tried to attach itself, with its explosive load, to the vessel's side.
It was unable to do so. Perhaps you don't call that launching an attack in
combat. If not, why not?
Maybe I should have said, "The Hunley was the first to launch a
successful attack in combat."
I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
