Since Lionel is speaking of an Untersee Boat (U Boat) - the kind that the Germans developed and shoots torpedos - he doesn't need a lesson about the American Civil War or the CSS Hunley. He is more interested in unrestricted submarine warfare during the Great War, and the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, and how this led to the U.S. entering the Great War in April, 1917.

THe nation of Germany developed what they called the U-Boat just prior to World War I. The Germany Naval term for a submarine is U-Boat.

CSS Hunley, the first submarine originally developed in an attempt to break the Union blockade of Charleston Harbor during the Civil War. The South already had had some success with semi-submersible crafts known as Davids. These steam-driven boats ran with their decks awash, each with just the turrets and a single smokestack protruding above the surface. In fact, one of the Davids was used in a successful attack on ships blockading Charleston Harbor, inflicting damage on the USS New Ironside on the night of October 5th 1863. However, the Hunley was one of the first workable submarines ever developed.
