Could Hunley surprise HMS Warrior?

Probably not; no further tactical explanation is offered.

Question

Could Hunley succeed against HMS Warrior if Warrior did not expect the submarine?

Short answer

Probably not; no further tactical explanation is offered.

Notes

An unexpected attack by Hunley is still judged unlikely to succeed against Warrior. The brief follow-up supplies no engagement plan or explanation of that judgement.
