The first successfull attack (excpet the sub was also lost with her crew). The first attack was in the American Revolution. A wood sub called the Turtle attacked a British Ship, I think in Boston Harbor. It was unable to attach the charge and pulled away. Later burned to keep from falling into Brut hands.

This site has history of construction, testing and battle - apparently the very FIRST submarine attack - and right outside of Charleston !! Efforts are now underway to raise the ship and preserve it at the Charleston Museum.
