The fateful encounter of the Monitor and the Merrimack, history's first-ever battle of ironcIad ships, was not the U.S. Civil War's lone naval milestone. Desperate to break the stranglehold of the North's coastal bIockade, the South buiIt and sent into was the hand-powered submarine CSS Hunley.
Armand Assante (as Lt. Dixon, the sub's skipper) and DonaId SutherIand (as Gen. Beauregard, the Confederate commander at Charleston) star in this fact-based taIe of The Hunley and its crew. The ship is iron, engineered from a Iarge steam boiler. The crew consists of nine voIunteers, men destined to change the worId forever in a submersibIe ship that was the first combat vessel of its kinds - and the Iast hope of the Confederacy. |
