Shipwreck ironically was one of the reasons I ended up joining the Navy. The other was my brother who was a Chief Boatswain Mate.

Shipwreck was always my favorite Joe in the cartoon. I remember having a hard time finding his action figure when I was a kid. I checked the toy section in every store I visited and never could locate him. Then one day I finally found him complete and in excellent condition at a garage sale. I was so happy, I was jumping up and down!

I think the Jack Nicholson style voice was inspired by The Last Detail.

Interesting enough I didn't even know that movie existed until 7-8 years ago. We had a writer for our local newspaper who sponsored a sort of noir film series at one of the local theaters where films that have "fallen of the radar" would be shown for anyone wanting to attend. This was usually followed up by a discussion after the film. One of the films was "The Last Detail". He explained (I couldn't attend but read the write-up) this was one of Nicholson's early films pre-superstardom (aka No Chinatown, Postman Rings Twice, etc.) but right next to "Six Easy Pieces" which obviously was one that got him really noticed. So good call on that.

I think Shipwreck did better than the other two in that episode.

My best memory of Shipwreck, other than having the action figure, was in the animated series when he and (I believe) Lady-J were throwing apples at a giant slime/green blob creature to poison it. Shipwreck, throwing apples one by one, repeating, "This is the one. No. Maybe this one..." etc. Eventually, Lady-J convinces Shipwreck to abandon the apple throw by promising him a date to go swimming, which they immediately do by jumping into a river, beneath where they were standing, in order to escape the path of the creature.

Then years later shown on Cartoon Network, and even when they aired it on the Hub before the station was rebranded "Discovery Family". I'm guessing that was permanently clipped to never be aired again.

Shipwreck had the best PSA’s after the show. “Hey look it’s Shipwreck!”

Shipwreck has always been my favorite joe. I just loved how he is in the cartoons. Now many years later imagine to my surprise that he is from Chula Vista. I have been born and raised and still live in Chula Vista.

I always thought Shipwreck looked a lot like the original GI Joe character.

It amazes me that they call their tanks MBTs or main battle tanks since those are really the only types of tanks most armies have. I mean America's got the Bradly fighting vehicle and the M113 series and Russia has the BMP lines but those aren't tanks, they're classified as armored vehicles and "battle taxis" Most armies of the world haven't actually fielded multiple series of tanks in their arsenals since ww2 Shipwreck was always been one of my favorite Joes and one of my favorites of both sides altogether

as I recall this is one of those guys that girls have never liked at all and would never get a date with a girl even if he was the last man on earth. others just couldn't stand being around him for long periods of time. has anger issues however the one thing he has in common with few is not liking any authority anywhere. but there seems to be one of those in every group. Shipwreck getting shoved away but never gives up keeps being a chaser trying to get the girls around him. he wouldn't stand a chance against Jinx she will knock his ass out. either that or put him out of action for a long time.
