In 1776, someone tried to sink a warship with a one-man submarine.
*It was an acorn-shaped wooden submarine called the Turtle.*
David Bushnell built it from oak and iron hoops. The driver was meant to dive, attach a bomb to the hull and escape. The attack failed, but it was the first combat submarine.
Not bad for a Yale student.
