Turtle (also called American Turtle) was the world’s first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat. It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against the Royal Navy during the American Revolutionary War. Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull recommended the invention to George Washington, who provided funds and support for the development and testing of the machine.

Sometimes Wikipedia is no fun at all! The damn page has no “pop culture” section. I learned about the sub from the tv series TURN: Washington’s Spies.
I googled but google has turned to shit so I didn’t find anything.
John Mayer - Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967 Not a real story, but it might as well be.
There was a submarine used in the American Revolutionary War. There must be songs about that. They might not be any good - but there have to be some.
