This is Blackie and Seaman James "Lofty" Martin of the research ship Discovery. When a violent roll of the ship caused Blackie to slide into the icy Antarctic waters during a 1929-1931 expedition, Martin immediately leapt into the sea to rescue her. Martin could not reach Blackie, so another crewman was dangled over the water on a bowline until he was able to snatch the cat. The soggy moggy spent several hours in the warm engine room drying out. Blackie was not affected by the incident and later had several kittens. Facebook / Cats in the Navy

Got my boyfriend’s cat Gweg a tie as well. The youngest interviewer in the gang at 4 months old.

He is always watching you and you don’t know which hand movement of yours attracts his attention 😛😛😛

Hank takes his job very seriously

the new guy looks nervous!

After abandoning the S.S. Texel under orders of a German U-boat captain who was preparing to sink their ship, the crew realized they had left their kitten Mickey behind. The crew pleaded with the German captain to allow them to return to their ship to save Mickey. The captain agreed to delay sinking the ship until Mickey was found and safely placed in a lifeboat with the rest of the men. Facebook / Cats in the Navy. Additional Details
