should have more details for people to read and for students to use when doing projects.
I have read that David was several different ages when he finished college whats really right? Kangaroo2 ( talk) 14:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
The end of this sentence is awkward and vague:
"The Turtle eventually sank when it was trying to retreat from British observation, yet a Bushnell family member as sole commander, bailed out and survived."
Hopefully someone can identify the "Bushnell family member." And it seems meaningless to refer to the "sole commander" of a submersible that was intended to carry one person. 850 C ( talk) 15:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
The article says that Bushnell was given command of the Corps of Sappers and Miners on August 2, 1779, then it says he was captured on May 6 of that same year. This seems impossible. Was he perhaps given command in 1778? Could someone verify and correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.149.16 ( talk) 21:49, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

well you see one doesn't simply just wake up and go for 40 like David Bushnell. Its an art form you cant learn it in a day or even a week the art of going for 40 is extremely complex in and of itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.237.127.23 ( talk) 16:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
The article states that Bushnell went by the pseudonym David Bush boi, which seems clearly vandalized (I already removed one instance of someone saying the Turtle was a duck?) but I don't know what his actual pseudonym might have been. KiraLiz1 | she/her 19:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
