Now that is interesting. I've read about the H.L. Hunley for decades and new information is always welcome.

The blue light and shock wave theories do seem to conflict. After all how could they signal after the attack if the explosion had already killed them?

Kudos to the third crew for pure guts getting into such a craft with a proven failure rate; while not an outright suicide mission they must have had considerable presentiments of disaster... and a terrible resolve to carry out such a mission.

I read an article today where a researcher disagreed with the "immediate death theory". He or she stated that given the pressure wave they experienced, it was likely that they suffered from blast lung, or pressure damage and bleeding in the lung. It went on to point out that this is fatal, but not immediately. If this is true it would explain how they were able to signal. They surfaced, gave the signal, submerged and succumbed to their injuries while below.

...or, possibly, the Hunley was part of an early Confederate version of the 7th Fleet...
