 | SHIPWRECK can splice a cable, plot a gunnery solution, navigate through shallow waters, and keep the helm on a steady heading through the eye of a storm in twenty foot seas while eating a runny fried-egg sandwich with mayonnaise on it. A knowledgeable chief with hands-on experience in most naval vessels up to frigate class, he is a strong hand-to-hand fighter as well, and can be counted on to put the enemy out of commission and take names when boarding hostile ships or securing a hot enemy stronghold. It is quite telling that none of the other G. I. JOE members ever call SHIPWRECK "swabbie" or "sailor-boy." It's just not worth the risk! GUNG HO has been heard to remark that Shipwreck is the last guy he would want to get into a knife-fight with. This is not to say that he isn't a likeable and sociable individual. On the contrary, he is always the first at the mike on karaoke night, and can perform a number of amusing tricks with his tattoos.
"I've never seen a more useless crew of lubbers as the G. I. JOE team at sea. If it wasn't for a salty dog like me, they'd all get swept overboard at the first squall."
