There was only one Hunley, and it was also known as The Fish. After sinking and killing it's crew AND the Hunley, the inventor, in an unsuccessful run, (where it was to drag a torpedo behind it, dive under the enemy ship, release the tow rope on the torpedo, which would hit the ship with the sub reemerged on the other side of the ship) it was raised from Charleston harbor, the dead crew and inventor receiving military funerals with all honours. It was refit and rearmed with the explosive charge on the pole boom.

It was the 2nd attempt, again the U.S.S Housatonic which was the final demise of the Hunley. The Housatonic was sunk after the crewmen could not lower their cannon low enough to shoot at the sub. All of the Union crew escaped safely to another Union ship, the Canadiagua. Unfortunetly, the Hunley crew were not so lucky. The Hunley sunk again, thus killing it's crew a second time. And it's still there now, until the raise it up here in the near future, and this crew will receive honarable military funerals just as the first lost crew deserved.
