I just found out that the USS Monitor, American Civil War submarine, was manufactured here in my neighborhood of Greenpoint. There are dozens of statues all over, dedicated to the vessel and it's history. Just thought I'd link you up to a historical site so you can do some book learnin' about the sub -- building, fighting, loss and eventual recovery. Pretty interesting stuff, considering it was only a few years ago that they found the remains of this monster off the coast of South Carolina.
