🌊 Dive into History: The World's FIRST Submarine Attack! 🐢 Hey Team Innovators! 🌟 Ever felt like you're navigating uncharted waters in a project? Let's deep-dive into history and resurface some wisdom! On this day in 1776, the American submersible 'Turtle' attempted the first-ever submarine attack. Talk about a high-stakes project, right? 🔑 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ David Bushnell's 'Turtle' was an MVP—minimal but functional. Like any first iteration, it had its flaws. 2️⃣ Operator skill mattered. Bushnell could run the sub smoothly, but he couldn't be the operator in the field. Team expertise is KEY! 3️⃣ Despite the 'Turtle's' shortcomings, the project led to other successful ventures, like drifting mines that hit their target! From a PM lens, this tale screams 'Risk Management' and 'Skill Assessment.' The tech was there, but the operator’s skill set wasn't fully aligned. A reminder that while innovation is cool, execution is queen. 👑 So, what's your 'Turtle' project? 🐢 Got any lessons learned from your daring endeavors?
