The South had a submarine called the Pioneer which was renamed the Hunley and operated by the Confederate Army. It became the first submarine to sink an enemy vessel in war, but it was also sunk.
The North had a submarine called the Intelligent Whale which was not used in the war.
The South also had steam-propelled craft called Davids which may or may not be considered submarines because they were not capable of submerging fully.
