Tirpitz (pig) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tirpitz (pig)
Tirpitz was a pig captured from the German Navy after a naval skirmish following the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914. He subsequently became the mascot of the cruiser HMS ''Glasgow''. == Early life ==
Pigs were often kept on board warships to supply fresh meat. Tirpitz was aboard SMS ''Dresden'' when she was ordered into the South Atlantic to join with the forces of Vice Admiral Maximilian von Spee to begin raiding allied merchants. The ship's first encounter with the ''Glasgow'' was at the Battle of Coronel, where the German fleet was victorious. They were subsequently defeated at the Battle of the Falkland Islands, though the faster ''Dresden'' managed to escape. She was located in Cumberland Bay on the Chilean island of Más a Tierra (today known as Robinson Crusoe Island), by HMS ''Glasgow'' and HMS ''Kent'' off the coast of South America on 15 March 1915. The Germans scuttled the ship, but Tirpitz was left on board as she sank.
