Hadoque, those are beautiful. I had already seen the ACW ones, and I think the one you call a submarine is actually the Merrimac, the first armored dreadnought ever. Though the first submarine used for war (hand-propelled) was built by the Confederate too, but I can't remember her name.
Best,
Arnaud

Arnaud is right. Technically that is an ironclad not a sub. Love them all and it really shows what you can do when you start with a wonderful platform (and of course you have talent). Love El Lobo's ship most of all.\

The first was Turtle, but that was in the American Revolutionary War.

No, not yet...

Yes, the "submarine" is rather a Ironclad.
Today the 3 "Zumwalt"-destroyers the US Navy is getting look a bit similar in shape  ;D

The first handpropelled Confederate "sub" was indeed the "Hunley".

Turtle.
The first was Turtle, but that was in the American Revolutionary War.

And it used a drill to make holes in British ships below their water lines as they were docked in port.  It was pretty cool.

:love: what great customs hadoque.
 :thanks: thank you for "collecting" them for us.
 :yup: wikipedia has a rather fine article about submarines - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine.
if you all don't mind the correction, the first submarine seems to have been the "drebbel" instead of the "turtle".
the "hunley" was the first successful military sub, sinking a ship and sinking itself afterwards.
