SHIPWRECK is your quintessential sailor. He 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. He is a knowledgeable Chief Petty Officer with hands-on experience in most naval vessels up to frigate class. When boarding hostile ships or securing enemy strongholds, he's a man that can be counted on to put the enemy out of commission.
Unfortunately, SHIPWRECK's incredibly arrogant attitude has caused trouble more than once with his teammates. To smooth things over, he and is pet parrot, Polly, have been transferred to the TIGER FORCE unit to handle a hostile situation in Brazil. Luckily for him, when something can't be resolved with force, he can fall back on a number of amusing tricks he performs with his tattoos to keep everyone entertained.
