The "H.L. Hunley Infiltrator"

[worldstrider]

That latter version is a thousand time better than the previous models, but it doesn't live to its name, not at all...

The Hunley was a death trap--taking down all its crews but at the same time was a success. I imagine the reason Junkers were chosen is they not only could blend in but were the only ones willing to set off with such small ships on such a dangerous trip. No doubt, many did not survive--and as France gave some slight aid to the Confederacy it seems an appropriate choice.
