Shipwreck from G.I. JOE
SHIPWRECK grew up in the shadow of the Navy, specifically the shadow of the sprawling San Diego Navy Yards. He enlisted at the youngest possible age with his parents' permission and proceeded to serve with distinction in the Mekong Delta where hand-to-hand fighting with river pirates, smugglers and insurgents was the order of the day. Put in time at several naval bases and was on hand at certain carrier-initiated operations in the Middle East.
Shipwreck predictably plays the “the loudmouth sailor” on the team. In the 80’s cartoon series he and his parrot named Polly often provide comic relief.
It doesn’t look like Shipwreck will be featured in the upcoming G.I. Joe live action movie. :-(
