HMS Barracuda

Sign in to edit

The HMS Barracuda was a submarine, in Britain's Royal Navy, during World War II.

History

In the early years of the Second World War, the HMS Barracuda inflicted heavy casualties on the German Navy. To counter this menace, the Gestapo and Kriegsmarine collaborated on a special technology, a newly developed "mine net." The Barracuda got entangled in the net and endangered by the mines, but was able to deploy a deep-sea diver, who cut the net with a torch. The Barracuda was able, that day, to shoot some torpedoees into the KMS Kronzprinz Albrecht, a pocket battleship.

Notes

  • The H.M.S. Barracuda by Ed Wexler was featured, once, in Military Comics #4.
    • The Barracuda's home port was Portsmouth, England.
    • Lt. Wilkins is described as the HMS Barracuda's "owner," with quotation marks around it.

Trivia

  • Skiff Wilkins was descended from Sir Francis Drake.
    • Starting on page 4, the Barracuda's C.O.'s name changes from Skiff Wilkins to Bob Drake, but in the final panel it is back to being Wilkins.
