They scored their biggest and best-known hit in with the song " Happy Together " [2]. The band broke up in Adhering to the prevailing musical trend, they rebranded themselves as a group under the name The Tyrtlesan intentionally stylized misspelling inspired by The The Turtle and . However, the trendy spelling did not survive long. As with , the achieved breakthrough success with a cover of a Bob The Turtle song. One single, the tough "Outside Chance", written by and featuring guitar work in the The Turtle of The Beatles' " ", did not chart. At the start ofdrummer and bassist Chuck Portz quit the group. The first of several key Turtles singles co-written by Garry Bonner and " Happy Together " had already been rejected by countless performers. ' only No. An album of the same name followed and peaked at No. Impressed by 's studio arrangements, approached him after a Turtles show at the and invited him to become ' new producer, as that band wanted to break out of their "manufactured" studio mold. Douglas was replaced by on bass. Nineteen sixty-seven proved to be the Turtles' most successful year on the music charts. Both 45s signaled a certain shift in the band's style. Golden Hits was released later The Turtle year, charting in the top The similar album covers for The Turtle Turtles! Inrhythm guitarist Jim Tucker left the band citing the pressure of touring and recording new material. He moved to Grass Valley where he became an electrical contractor. He has denied that he left the band because was rude to him as suggested by the Turtles' lead singer . The first two singles in The Turtle, "Sound Asleep" and "The Story of Rock and Roll", stalled somewhere in the middle of the top The band's fortunes changed when Chip Douglas returned The Turtle work with them in the studio. Late in the band released a called The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bandsin which the group pretended to be 11 different bands with fanciful names including 'The Bigg Brothers', 'Nature's Children', 'the US Teens featuring Raoul', The Turtle 'the Fabulous Dawgs'each with a song in a The Turtle genre.

In spite of 's positive reception from the music press, its commercial success was marginal and the band soon began The Turtle disintegrate. Long disillusioned with their record label and its growing financial problems by this time, Kaylan and Volman resisted White Whale's efforts to turn the Turtles into something approaching an The Turtle pop act. The label apparently encouraged Kaylan and Volman to fire the rest of the band, tour with hired musicians and make records by adding The Turtle vocals to backing tracks recorded by Memphis session players. The Turtles wound down their career in with a second compilation album, More Golden Hitsand a B-sides and rarities album, . With the demise of the Turtles, was left with few commercially viable bands, and soon ceased operation. Kaylan and Volman sang backing vocals on several recordings by T. When White Whale's master recordings were sold at auction inthe duo won the Turtles' masters, making them the owners of their own recorded work. They promptly licensed the tracks to Sire Recordswho issued them as a compilation called Happy Together Again. Kaylan played the part of Captain Cloud, a spiritual guru, leader of a caravan of time-lost . InThe Turtle and Volman legally regained the use of "The Turtles" name and began touring as the Turtles Featuring Flo and Eddie. Instead of trying to reunite with their earlier bandmates, they began featuring all-star sidemen who had played with different groups.

Kaylan and Volman sued, winning a large settlement, The Turtle a legal precedent, and causing the music industry to begin carefully crediting and paying royalties for sampled works on future rap and other recordings. As they explained, "We don't hate sampling; we The Turtle sampling.

Turtle also called American Turtle was the world's first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat. It was built in by American as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against vessels occupying North American harbors during the American Revolutionary War. Governor Jonathan Trumbull recommended the invention to George Washingtonwho provided funds and support for The Turtle development and testing of the machine. Several attempts were made The Turtle Turtle to affix explosives to the undersides of British warships in New York Harbor in All failed, and her The Turtle ship was sunk later that year by the British with the aboard. Bushnell claimed eventually to have recovered the machine, but its final fate is unknown. Modern replicas of Turtle have been constructed and are on display in the Museumthe U. The American inventor David Bushnell made the idea of a submersible vessel for use in lifting the British naval blockade during the American War of Independence. Bushnell may have begun studying underwater explosions while at Yale College. By earlyhe had created a reliable method for detonating The Turtle explosives, a clockwork connected to a musket firing mechanism, probably a flintlockadapted for the purpose. After the Battles of Lexington and Concord in AprilBushnell began work near Old Saybrook on a small, individually-manned submersible The Turtle to attach an explosive charge to the hull of an enemy ship, which, he wrote Benjamin Franklin, would The Turtle, "Constructed with Great Simplicity and upon Principles of Natural Philosophy. Little is known about the origin, inspiration, and influences for Bushnell's invention. It seems clear Bushnell knew of the work of the Dutch inventor Cornelius Drebbel. According to Dr. Benjamin Gale, a The Turtle who taught at Yale, the many The Turtle and mechanical moving parts of the submarine were built by the New Haven clock-maker, engraver, silversmith, brass manufacturer and inventor [4] whose shop was just a half block from Yale. He also founded and owned a brass foundry where he cast bells. At the start of the , the wealthy and patriotic Doolittle built a gunpowder The Turtle with two partners in New Haven to support the war, and was sent by the Connecticut government to prospect for lead. Though the design of the Turtle was necessarily shrouded in secrecy, [10] based on his mechanical engineering expertise and previous experience in design and manufacturing, it seems Doolittle designed and crafted and probably funded the brass and the moving parts of the Turtle[11] including the propulsion system, [12] the navigation instruments, [13] the brass foot-operated water-ballast and forcing pumps, [14] the depth gauge and compass, [15] the brass crown hatch, [16] the The Turtle detonator for the mine, [17] and the hand-operated propeller crank and foot-driven treadle with flywheel. Benjamin Gale to Benjamin Franklin, Doolittle also designed the mine attachment mechanism, "those Parts which Conveys The Turtle Powder, and secures the same to the Bottom of the Ship". Benjamin Gale to Silas Dean as "a pair of oars fixed like the two opposite arms of a windmill" [21] and as "two oars or paddles" that were "like the arms of a windmill In making the hull, Bushnell enlisted the services of several skilled artisans, including his brother the farmer Ezra Bushnell and The Turtle carpenter Phineas Pratt, both, like David Bushnell, from Saybrook. Named for its shape, Turtle resembled a large clam as much as a turtle ; it was about The Turtle feet 3. It was propelled vertically and horizontally by hand-cranked propellers. The Turtle small pieces of thick glass in the top of the submarine provided natural light. During trials in NovemberBushnell discovered that this illumination failed when the temperature dropped too low. Although repeated requests were made to Benjamin Franklin for possible alternatives, none was forthcoming, and Turtle was sidelined for the winter. The Turtle basic design included some elements present in earlier experimental submersibles. The method of raising and lowering the vessel was similar to that developed by Nathaniel Simons inand the gaskets used to make watertight connections around the connections between the internal and external controls also may have come from Simons, who constructed a The Turtle based on a 17th-century Italian design by Giovanni Alfonso Borelli. One of the central concerns for Bushnell as he planned and constructed the Turtle was funding. Due to colonial efforts to keep the existence of this potential The Turtle asset secret from the British, the colonial records concerning the Turtle are often short and cryptic. Most of the records that do exist concern Bushnell's request for funds. Trumbull also sent requests to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, who was an inventor himself, was intrigued by the possibilities while Washington remained skeptical of devoting funds from the , whose funding was already being stretched. Ultimately, Washington was able to provide some funds possibly due to Trumbull's influence. Several setbacks plagued the design process. The mine in particular was delayed several times from its expected completion from to Piloting the Turtlemoreover, required great physical stamina and coordination. The Turtle operator would have to adjust the bilge in order to keep from sinking while providing his own propulsion by use of a crank, which worked a propeller located on the front of the submarine, and direction by use of a lever that would operate and direct a rudder in the back. The cabin also reportedly held air The Turtle only thirty minutes of use. Thereafter, the operator would have to surface and replenish The Turtle air through a ventilator. Obviously, training would be needed in order to ensure the project's success due to the complex nature of the machine. Bushnell did the initial testing of his submarine The Turtle, choosing his brother, Ezra, as the pilot. Despite Bushnell's insistence on secrecy surrounding his work, news of it quickly made its way to the British, abetted by a Loyalist spy working for New York Congressman James Duane. In August The Turtle, Bushnell asked General for volunteers to operate Turtlebecause his brother Ezra, who had been its operator during earlier trials at Ayer's Point on the Connecticut river, was taken ill. After two weeks of training, Turtle was towed to New York, and its new operator, Sgt. Destroying this symbol of British naval power by means of a submarine would at least be a blow to British morale and, perhaps, threaten the British blockade and control of New York Harbor. The plan was to have Lee surface just behind Eagle ' s rudder and use a screw to attach an explosive to the ship's hull. Once attached, Lee would re-enter the water and make his The Turtle. At pm on September 6,The Turtle. On that night, Lee maneuvered the small craft out to the anchorage. It took two hours to reach his destination, as it was hard work manipulating the hand-operated controls and foot pedals to propel the submersible into position. Adding to his difficulties was a fairly strong current and the darkness creeping overhead, which made visibility difficult. The plan failed. Lee began his mission with only twenty minutes of air, not to mention the complications of operating The Turtle craft. The darkness, the speed of the currents, and the added complexities all combined to thwart Lee's plan. Once surfaced, Lee lit the fuse on the explosive and tried multiple times to stab the device into the underside of the ship. Unfortunately, after several attempts Lee was not able to The Turtle Eagle ' s hull and abandoned the operation as the timer on The Turtle explosive was due to go off and he feared getting caught at dawn. A popular story held that he failed due to the lining covering the ship's hull. The Royal Navy had recently begun installing copper sheathing on the bottoms of their warships to protect from damage by woodworms and other marine life, however the lining was paper-thin and could not have stopped Lee from drilling through it. Bushnell believed Lee's failure was probably due to an iron plate connected to the ship's The Turtle hinge. It seems more likely that he was suffering from fatigue and carbon dioxide inhalation, which made him confused and unable to properly carry out the process of drilling through the Eagle ' s hull. Lee reported British soldiers on Governors Island spotted the submersible and rowed The Turtle to investigate. He then released the charge which he called a "torpedo", the prevailing The Turtle for The Turtle explosive devices prior to about"expecting that they would seize that likewise, and thus all would be blown to atoms. Lee The Turtle that the charge drifted into the East Riverwhere it exploded The Turtle tremendous violence, throwing large columns of water and pieces of wood that composed it high into the air. British records contain no accounts of an attack by a submarine or any reports of explosions on the night of the supposed attack on Eagle. According to British naval historian Richard Compton-Hall, the problems of achieving neutral buoyancy would have rendered the vertical propeller useless. The route Turtle would have had to take to attack Eagle was slightly across the tidal stream which would, in all probability, have resulted in Lee becoming exhausted. Despite Turtle ' The Turtle failure, Washington called Bushnell "a Man of great Mechanical The Turtle, fertile of invention and a master in execution. He laboured for some time ineffectually and, though the advocates for his scheme continued sanguine, he never did succeed. One accident or another was The Turtle intervening. I then thought, and still think, that it was an effort of genius; but that a combination of too many things were requisite…" [42]. Turtle ' s attack on Eagle reflected both the ingenuity of American forces after the fall of New York and the tendency of the weaker belligerent to adopt and embrace new, sometimes radical, technologies. The submarine's ultimate fate is not known, although it is believed that after the British took New York, the Turtle was destroyed to prevent her from falling into enemy hands. On October 5, Sergeant Lee again went out in an attempt to attach the charge to a The Turtle off Manhattan. He The Turtle the ship's watch spotted him, so he abandoned the attempt. The submarine was sunk some days later by the British aboard its tender vessel near Fort The Turtle, . Bushnell reported salvaging Turtlebut its final fate is unknown. Following Turtle' s abortive attack in New York Harbor, Bushnell continued his work in underwater explosives. Inhe devised mines to be towed for an attack on HMS Cerberus near New London harbor [45] and to be floated down the Delaware River in an attempt to interrupt the British fleet off Philadelphia. Francis Hopkinson 's poem " Battle of the Kegs ," captured the surprising, if futile, venture: "The soldier flew, the sailor too, and, scared almost to death, sir, wore out their shoes to spread The Turtle news, and ran till out of breath, sir. When the Connecticut government refused to fund further underwater project, Bushnell joined the Continental army as a captain-lieutenant of sappers and miners, and served with distinction for several years the Hudson River in New York. He visited France for several years, then moved to Georgia in under the assumed name of David Bush, where he taught school and practiced medicine. He died largely unknown in Georgia in After the war, inventors such as Robert Fulton were influenced by Bushnell's designs in the development of underwater explosives. Despite Turtle' s shortcomings, Bushnell's invention marked an important milestone in submarine technology. The The Turtle inventor Robert Fulton conceived of his submarine Nautilus in the first years of the nineteenth century and took it to Europe The Turtle the proved largely uninterested in the design. Hunleywhose destruction of the USS Housatonic in Charleston Harbor in February was the first successful submarine attack in history. By the early-twentieth century, the world's navies were beginning to adopt in larger numbers. Like Bushnell's design, these boats mimicked the natural forms of marine animals in The Turtle hull designs. As one contemporary historian of submarines observed inthe evolution of modern submarine evolved from the whale, which he deemed a "submarine made by The Turtle out of a mammal. While Bushnell's name is not generally well-known, The Turtle is often credited with revolutionizing naval warfare from below. As historian Alex Roland argues, Bushnell's The Turtle as an inventor was also burnished by American writers and historians who in the early nineteenth-century lionized Bushnell The Turtle his submarine. To a new postwar generation of Americans, he seemed "the ingenious patriot who invented the submarine that terrified the British. These men served as national heroes to Americans who advocated for technological advances and idolized the men making them. Yet, while the Turtle occupies a prominent place in the history of technology and military history, Roland's scholarship points to other technological precedence that almost certainly influenced Bushnell's The Turtle. Since the Turtle' s emergence over two centuries ago, the international playing field has leveled. The monopoly over submersible technology once held by the United States was lost over time as other navies around the world modernized and adopted submarine warfare. From the innovations of John Holland in the early twentieth century to the German U-boat campaigns of the World Wars, and the nuclear-powered ICBM submarines of the Cold Warmodern navies embraced the submarine, first, for missions of reconnaissance and commerce-raiding, but, The Turtle, in offensive, attack roles. In the postwar era, the submarine has become a central component of modern navies.
