Re: Submarine Movie? or TV?

Psubbers,
    In regard to the Hunley, a confederate submarine that sunk a Union
warship and was lost in the effort, few people know that it was not the
only confederate submarine constructed.  Four subs were built in
Shreveport, Louisiana at a confederate shipyard located at the mouth of
Cross Bayou where it flows into the Red River.  Interestingly enough they
are still there.  When the yankees were approaching this shipyard they sunk
them all in, or around, the mouth of the bayou to keep them from being used
by the Union navy.  I did not know this until about 2 months ago when I was
asked if I would be interested in an effort to raise them.  Another irony
here is the fact that my sub, The Vindicator, is stored in my airplane
hangar located about a mile from the sinking site.  And NO, I do not plan
to put my sub in the Red River!!!
