  The CSA had the Hundley that was later lost at sea but it was found a few
years ago off the coast of the Carollina's.

   Pretty much, but the Union had a blockade for shipping since the South
had to import and export goods.
   Submarines where used mainly to ram and sink wooden ships.  It was for
offensive rather than defensive use.
