>[This story has been passed down through the years since Cossack was sunk but how true is it? At the time BISMARCK sank COSSACK had withdrawn leaving RODNEY, KGV and DORSETSHIRE to use their big guns and then left to escort the battleships back to the UK. DORSETSHIRE and MAORI remained for a while to pick up survivors. There is no evidence to suggest that COSSACK picked up any survivors, not even a cat! In October 1941 when COSSACK was sunk in the Atlantic, off Cape St. Vincent, ARK ROYAL was in the Mediterranean. COSSACK's survivors were picked up by HM Ships LEGION and CARNATION and FS ARIGUANI and no survivor has mentioned the ship's cat having been picked up. However, as one of our past Association Presidents, the late Rear Admiral Anthony Davies, said "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story", so the story goes on!]
