HMS Hood и Кот

Взято отсюда: http://gunter-spb.livejournal.com/829491.html#cutid1

Для не желающих ходить по ссылке - это кот с крейсера HOOD, потопленного "Бисмарком". Кот разделил судьбу экипажа.
Но за него отомстили.

Ginger & Fishcakes
Not much is known about these fine felines, but fortunately, several photos of them still exist. Ginger, a large, mostly ginger and white coloured male tabby cat, and Fishcakes, a smaller "tuxedo" cat, were known to have been aboard Hood throughout the 1930s. Of course, the exact dates of their full time aboard, their places of origin and even their ages are not known with any certainty. They were aboard at the same time as bulldog "Argus" (or possibly "Angus").

It is also not known for sure if they were still aboard the ship at the time of its loss. The latest known photo of either of the cats, was of Fishcakes aboard the ship in late 1940. We believe it is quite possible that one or both were aboard.

Оттуда же.
