      • The first U. S. submarine, "The Turtle", was used in the Revolutionary War and was designed to sneak up on the enemy ships and stick a bomb just under the waterline and blow it up. The bomb would never stick, however, and the sub had to detonate it further away causing mayhem but no damage. Edit
      • Depth charges used to be called "ash cans." Edit
      • Pirates had to keep a constant maintenance of their weapons since the sea air would dampen the gunpowder making the firearms useless. Edit
