CSS Shark

The CSS Shark, the first Confederate atomic submarine, took to the seas in the last two years of the Second Great War as a regular submarine, wreaking havoc on Northern shipping. After the war, the sub was outfitted with nuclear warheads and given nuclear power. The Confederate Joint Chiefs of Staff, high-ranking officers from every branch and every state, had the ability to launch the warheads at any time, unlike in the USA, where the president was in control of the nuclear arsenal.
