Battleship Bismarck

The Bismarck was a German battleship, the largest and most powerful capital ship in the Kriegsmarine. For all its weaponry and armour, the ship was involved in only one major operation which, after the sinking of the British battlecruiser Hood, ended in the Bismarck's destruction in the North Atlantic by a large British force on 27 May 1941.

This is Unsinkable Sam, aka Oscar, a cat that served with the Kriegsmarine (navy of Nazi Germany) and the Royal Navy (navy of the UK) during World War 2.⁣⁣

He was reported to have belonged to a sailor onboard the German battleship Bismarck.

On 18 May 1941, Bismarck was on its first mission when it was sunk by the Allies. Out of the 2,100 crew members, only 115 men and one cat survived.

⁣The HMS Cossack scooped up the cat and gave him the name Oscar.

For the next few months, Oscar lived on the ship until it was hit by torpedoes from a German U-boat, which killed 159 crew members but not Oscar, who was brought to the shores of Gibraltar by the remaining survivors.⁣

Oscar was soon transferred to the HMS Ark Royal, where he was given the name "Unsinkable Sam."

Ironically, the Ark Royal was heavily involved in the sinking of the Bismarck.

After a series of near misses, the ship had garnered a reputation for being a "lucky ship."

However, its luck would soon run out.

On 14 November 1941, the Ark Royal was torpedoed by a U-boat, causing it to roll over and sink.

Sam was found clinging to a piece of wood and was described as "angry, but quite unharmed."

The sinking of the Ark Royal ended Sam's career at sea, and he lived out his remaining years in Belfast with a seaman until 1955.⁣ ⁣

Type VIIC U-boat, U-363 at the Battle of Narvik in WWII. I watched a documentary on YouTube about this battle and I must say the pitiful story of this U-boat's time there was crazy. The captain tried again and again to attack the British warships (tincans and HMS Warspite) but EVERY torpedo he fired just didn't work! And we are talking quite a few attempts here! In fact, if his torpedoes had functioned correctly he would have inflicted some serious damage upon the British forces. The documentary mentioned the captains radio messages back to fleet HQ basically screaming that someone should pay dearly for issuing worthless torpedos to a ship at war. I don't know exactly what the man said, but for him to make a special trip out away from Narvik and risk a radio transmission during an ongoing operation, I imagine he was completely enraged. Poor fellow. Ended the battle in surrender I understand. U-363 taken by the Royal Navy.
