You can't go wrong with the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, which was the first submarine to sink an enemy vessel in combat. It was named after its inventor, a civilian engineer ,who contracted with the Confederate government to provide an underwater vessel to attack Union navy ships that were blockading the majority of southern port cities. The Hunley sunk the USS Housatonic (another "H") in Charleston Harbor, but was lost with all hands aboard (including its commander, Lt Dixon, CS Army). In the last couple of years, it has become famous in Civil War circles, as it was recovered and brought back to the surface and is currently being studied and restored in a tank in South Carolina.

John Bell Hood's Texans failed to take Little Round Top on the 2nd day of fighting at Gettysburg. Gen. Hood was one of the best Divisional Commanders in the South. As a Corps commander later in the war, he sucked.

General Hooker was a Union general. The women who followed his troops became known as hookers, but you probably don't want to put that in your report! A.P. Hill was another Civil War general.
