@UpperGround Unsinkable Sam (also known as Oskar or Oscar) is the nickname of a ship's cat who purportedly served during WW2 with both the Kriegsmarine and the Royal Navy and survived the sinking of three ships. The cat's original name is unknown. The name "Oscar" was given by the crew of the British destroyer HMS Cossack that rescued him from the sea following the sinking of the German battleship Bismark. "Oscar" was derived from the International Code of Signals for the letter 'O', which is code for "Man Overboard" (the German spelling, "Oskar", was sometimes used, since he was a German cat).
