Stowaway incident
Added this amusing incident. My cite confuses the Hunley with the Proteus (unless both ships had female stowaways in 1973??) -- see the Proteus cartoon, immediately following photos, at "Note from Webmaster". I'll add a cite to the cruise book when I come across it -- I was there for the incident. Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

"Polaris Class"
The second sentence of this article reads "The Hunley was designed to tend most of the long-term requirements of the Polaris Class of submarines." I am aware of a Polaris missile weapons system, I don't know about a Polaris Class of submarines. If there was a cite I could go figure out what the author meant, but hmm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scalveg (talk • contribs) 22:24, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Name of USS Hunley (AS-31)
I was a crewmember of USS Hunley (AS-31). The thing I remember about the name of the ship was that it was specifically named Hunley, not H.L. Hunley, because it was named to honor both the man, Horace Lawson Hunley, and the submarine he created, the CSS Hunley. The wikipedia reference states the name of AS-31 was after the inventor only, I am certain this is incorrect.16:25, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Duckman1950 (talk)

Hurricane-Buster
The Hunley was on duty in Charleston, SC during Hurricane Hugo in the late 80's (they were relieving another tender while it was in the ship-yard). The ship left behind a 'stay-behind' detachment that helped with clean-up after the storm. A few years latter there was another Hurricane and the Navy deployed the Hunley with the moniker "Hurricane-busters" as part of the relief effort. I am sorry, I don't remember much more than that but it did make the national news, and so I would say it qualifies as 'note-worthy'.

Maybe some old crew member can chime-in with some details and perhaps a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.136.15.23 (talk) 16:52, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
