The Hunley is a 1999 American historical drama television film written and directed by John Gray, from a story by Gray and John Fasano. The film stars Armand Assante, Donald Sutherland, Alex Jennings, Michael Dolan, and Christopher Bauer, and is based on the true story of the H. L. Hunley submarine and the action of 17 February 1864. It aired on TNT on July 11, 1999.

H. L. Hunley takes his ship, the H.L. Hunley, out in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor and it sinks with all hands. As the blockade still needs to be broken, Brig. Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard has the ship raised and puts George E. Dixon in charge. He starts looking for a crew and after some difficulty finally finds enough volunteers to man it. They practice cranking the propeller. The crew do not all get along with each other. Dixon flashes back to the Battle of Shiloh, where a gold coin given to him by his wife (who was later killed in a steamboat explosion caused by a drifting mine) deflected a bullet and saved his life. They take the ship down and sit on the bottom to see how long they can stay down and almost get stuck. The U.S. Navy is warned about the sub. The crew votes that if after an attack they are stuck on the bottom, they will open the valves, flooding the ship, rather than suffocate. They go out to attack the USS Wabash, but the attack fails. Following the warning the ship has draped metal chain netting over the side. Also the rope which was attached to the torpedo they were to release under the ship gets loose and becomes entangled in the propeller. It has to be cut loose while sailors on the Wabash shoot at the Hunley. Beauregard proposes putting the torpedo at the end of a long spar. The USS Housatonic is ordered to change its position in the harbor and always be ready to steam, meaning it cannot hang metal netting over the side. The Hunley's second in command, Lt. Alexander, is ordered to Mobile, Alabama, and a young soldier who had been volunteering to join the crew is allowed to do so.

On February 17, 1864, the CSS H. L. Hunley sails out and attacks the USS Housatonic. The torpedo is rammed into the side of the ship. It blows up and the Housatonic is the first ship ever sunk by a sub. A bullet from the ship breaks a window in the conning tower and wounds Dixon. The explosion opens the seams on the Hunley and it takes on water. It settles to the bottom and the crew cannot release the ballast or pump the ship. As agreed the crew opens the valves and the ship floods, killing the entire crew. General Beauregard attends a memorial service in Charleston for the Hunley and her crew, while inside the flooded submarine, Dixon sees a vision of his wife, welcoming him into the afterlife.

Donald Sutherland as Confederate General Pierre Beauregard calms a group of Confederate civilians under bombardment by Union forces in besieged Charleston by singing The Bonnie Blue Flag. This is from the 1999 movie The Hunley, a film about the Confederate proto-submarine. Sutherland has always been a Hollywood liberal, and this scene demonstrates just how recent the politicization of all things Confederate has been by the left in this country.

From Warner Brothers Archive Collection, now available in DVD format, The Hunley. The story of the world's first successful combat submarine, H.L. Hunley, and her courageous crew. Starring Armand Assante and Donald Sutherland; directed by John Gray; 94 minutes; 1999.

On the night of February 17, 1863, the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley departed Breach Inlet near Charleston and sank the Union blockader the USS Housatonic. The Hunley became the first successful attack submarine in history. However, it's failure to return to port remained a source of mystery and speculation for over 130 years. In 1995, during a joint project between SCIAA and Clive Cussler and his organization NUMA (National Underwater Marine Agency), the submarine was located approximately 310 meters (330 yards) seaward of the Housatonic wreck site. From 1996 to 2000, SCIAA, along with a number of other federal and state agencies, participated in the investigation and recovery of the submarine. Today, the submarine and related artifacts are undergoing conservation at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston.

The USS Hunley (AS-31) was a Hunley Class submarine tender launched in 1961, commissioned in 1962, and designed to tend to Polaris Class submarines. The vessel sailed in 1962 for shakedown training and departed for duty to Scotland. Upon arrival, she began taking over the tasks from USS Proteus, whom she officially relieved in 1963 as tender to Submarine Squadron 14. This assignment continued until 1964, when the ship underwent a conversion for the the new A3 Polaris Missile. She resumed her duties in Scottland under the motto "We Serve to Preserve Peace ." In 1967, the tender relieved the USS Proteus in Guam until 1968, when Proteus underwent a self-overhaul. The ship's Machinery Repair Division received the Meritorious Unit Commendation in 1971 for servicing the Pacific Fleet. After a conversion overhaul in 1973, the vessel tended to the Atlantic Fleet. She relieved the USS Proteus again in Guam and continued tender duties until 1980. The USS Hunley was decommissioned in 1994, struck from the Register in 1995, turned over to the Maritime Commission in 1999, and sold for scrapping in 2007. With asbestos present in hundreds of products on Navy ships, veterans should have their health regularly checked with chest X-rays, CT scans, and breathing tests.

The primary purpose of this study was to elucidate factors that school psychologists perceive inhibit them from providing more mental health interventions within their professional roles. School psychologists' dual training in mental health and education renders them the logical choice to provide tier II and tier III interventions in schools (National Association of School Psychologists [NASP], 2003). School psychologists appear to be in agreement, as they indicate a desire to spend more time in the provision of roles such as counseling and consultation (e.g., Prout, Alexander, Fletcher, Memis, & Miller, 1993). However, school psychologists currently spend relatively little time in the provision of such services (e.g., Curtis, Hunley, Walker, & Baker, 1999).
