Mostly, yes, but there were some naval skirmishes, probably related to the
union blockade of southern ports.  IIRC, the CSA sub was used against a
union ship blockading the port of Charleston, SC.

I think it was a success in its initial mission.  The goal was to quietly
approach a ship, ram a harpoon-like rod with a bomb attached into the hull
under the water level so that when it detonates, the ship takes on water
and sinks.

IIRC, he completed the first and last step... he was either too close
during the last part of the second step (the detonation) or had some other
mishap before he made it back to shore.

Either way, it took on water and sank.  I think it was named the Hundley,
after its creator.

You seemed to have found Moe's, on port 27.  The system I am posting from
runs on the standard port at the address in the origin line below.  Moe's
is the one with all the classic DOS doors, like LORD, Yankee Trader, etc.

On this system, they have either been ported to linux or are new doors
written specifically for linux machines.
