		John Philip Holland (February 24, 1841 - August 12, 1914) was the engineer who developed the first true submarine accepted by the U.S. Navy.

		Holland continued to improve his designs and worked on several experimental boats prior to his successful efforts with the privately built Holland launched in 1898.
