The Turtle may have made the first attempt at a sub attack, but it was the CSS Hunley serving in the Confederate Navy which was the sub that first succeeded in sinking a ship during the Civil War. However, the Hunley never returned from that attack. They did find her and raise in the early 2000's, but I'm not sure if they ever figured out what happened.
