The Turtle was not the Navy's first submarine at the time, so it was not the Navy's first submarine at the time. The USS Alligator, the first known US Navy submarine, was the first known US Navy submarine. It's also the fourth United States Navy ship of that name. During the American Civil War, the Alligator was active.
