Default The 1st. Real Submarine

Nice drawings. Is this really the first?

Holland A-1 design, 1901 (USA) [Chant, 1996]. This boat may be regarded as the first real submarine. It features diesel electric propulsion and has on board torpedo tubes. The life and works of John P. Holland, is outlined in [Morris, 1998

I thought the first "war"-submarine was built by the Confed army during the war of secession ...
The first ever built Submarine was the Turtle built 1776 by David Bushnell
Durint the American Civil War the Confed army used handpowered "tubes" to get heavy explosive charges to ships.... etc.

Just asked Wikipedia...
