an important impact on the warfare capabilities of the United States. It was during the American Revolution that the United States
navy was just beginning to form and to have a noticeable impact on warfare (Mines in the U.S. Revolution, 2004). But, it was the efforts of David Bushnell that
were most dramatic in this regard (Mines in the U.S. Revolution, 2004). Bushnell was from Saybrook, Connecticut and was a practitioner of what was called asymmetric warfare (Mines in

created various watercraft weapons that could be used against the British ships in unconventional ways (Mines in the U.S. Revolution, 2004).

in the U.S. Revolution, 2004). It was egg shaped and was propelled by two hand-cranked propellers. One propeller was for
