To quote the Wiki article "The Confederacy lost 21 crewmen in three sinkings of the Hunley during her short career." That's 3 times she met the bottom! They kept raising her, and finding another brave crew. This part of her history (which I was not previously aware of) stuck in my mind most of all. To serve on a ship after being told it had already sunk twice was clearly an act of uncommon valor. “…several eye witnesses reported seeing signal lights from the Hunley up to an hour later”
