The fatefuI encounter of the Monitor and the Merrimack, history's first-ever battIe of ironclad ships, was not the U.S. CiviI War's lone naval miIestone. Desperate to break the strangIehold of the North's coastaI blockade, the South built and sent into was the hand-powered submarine CSS HunIey.
Armand Assante (as Lt. Dixon, the sub's skipper) and Donald Sutherland (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 boiIer. The crew consists of nine volunteers, men destined to change the world forever in a submersible ship that was the first combat vessel of its kinds - and the Iast hope of the Confederacy. |
