First
“Unsinkable Sam” (also known as “Oscar”[1]) was the nickname given to a ship’s cat who saw service in both the Kriegsmarine and Royal Navy during the Second World War, serving on board three vessels and surviving the sinking of all three.[2]
Bismarck
The black and white patched cat had been owned by an unknown crewman of the German battleship Bismarck.[2] He was on board the ship on 18 May 1941 when it set sail on Operation Rheinübung, Bismarck’s first and only mission. Bismarck was sunk after a fierce sea-battle on 27 May, from which only 115 from its crew of over 2,200 survived. Hours later, Oscar was found floating on a board and picked from the water, the only survivor to be rescued by the homeward-bound British destroyer HMS Cossack.[3] Unaware of what his name had been on Bismarck, the crew of Cossack named their new mascot “Oscar”.[3]
HMS Cossack
He served on board Cossack for the next few months as it carried out convoy escort duties in the Mediterranean and north Atlantic. On 24 October 1941, Cossack was escorting a convoy from Gibraltar to the United Kingdom when it was severely damaged by a torpedo fired by the German submarine U-563.[4] Crew were transferred to the destroyer HMS Legion, and an attempt was made to tow the badly listing Cossack back to Gibraltar, but worsening weather conditions meant the task became impossible and had to be abandoned. On 27 October, a day after the tow was slipped, Cossack sank to the west of Gibraltar. The initial explosion had blown off one third of the forward section of the ship, killing 159 of the crew, but Oscar survived this too and was brought to the shore establishment in Gibraltar.[4]
HMS Ark Royal
Now nicknamed “Unsinkable Sam”, he was soon transferred to the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which ironically had been instrumental in the destruction of Bismarck. However, Sam was to find no more luck there, and when returning from Malta on 14 November 1941, this ship too was torpedoed, this time by the submarine U-81. Attempts were also made to tow the Ark Royal to Gibraltar, but the unstoppable inflow of water made the task a futile one and the carrier eventually rolled over and sank 30 miles from Gibraltar. The slow rate at which the ship sank however meant that all but one of the crew could be saved. The survivors, including Sam, who had been found clinging to a floating plank by a motor launch,[5] and described as “angry but quite unharmed”[6] were transferred to HMS Lightning and the same HMS Legion which had rescued the crew of Cossack. Legion would itself be sunk in 1942, and Lightning in 1943.
who photoshopped poor Gonl into a trashcan picture !

Concerning the piece about HMS Ark Royal.
I know this may be pedantic -but you might as well get it right, if you are writing about the Royal Navy.
In the Royal Navy, ships do not have crews, they have ship’s company
Perhaps that’s what they were going for and perhaps it was stated by George himself.
Er… It is rather well known that the original prop was in fact made from a trash can. Naturally, it will look like one.
No, it isn’t. Look again – it’s two rubbermaid containers on top of one another.
Oooh – where can I get me one of them rubber maids and a dinky container for her?
i always thought it was supposed to be a trashcan
Actually, it’s two plastic storage bins with one inverted on the top of the other. The rim on the top one was cut out.
The more you know!
the more you look like a smart ass.
ROFL
Win
did somone really need to point out this?
Engrish win.
Grammer-Nazi fail.
Isn’t that the point?
Looks Like Fail.
um, excuse me, but DUH!!!!
Well isn’t that the point of this website?
yeah, Star Wars fans have even referred to this as “the trash can robot” for 32 years, now. This is weak.
Why do you forsake us TLL! What have we done to warrant your hatred of us! Why must you cure us with such garbage!
Budum bum.
curse*
Most boring Look Alike EVAAAAR.
its actually supposed to be like a walking car battery
The toy of this (from the original 1970s toy line) was called ‘Power Droid’.
I think that’s the point.
i have 2 things
1,i KNEW i wasnt the only 1
2,imagine some pedestrian coming and putting trash in there lolololololol
Actually, all those droids were made out of junk, including one or two trashcans, the reason why it looks like a trash can, is because it is one…..
gonk droid from star wars! A.K.A amunition droid.
Perhaps because it is. They had no money making Ep. IV…give them a break!!
