A Delicate Operation
Scientists remove the rear hatch on the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006, in Charleston, S.C. After it was removed from the sub the hatch was taken to the lab for X-rays. The 40-foot, hand-cranked sub, the first in history to sink an enemy warship, sank off Charleston after sending a Union blockade ship to the bottom on Feb. 17, 1864.
