	German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlantis, known to the Kriegsmarine as Schiff 16 and to the Royal Navy as Raider-C, was a converted German Hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser, or merchant or commerce raider) of the Kriegsmarine, which, during World War II, travelled more than 161,000 km in 602 days, and sank 22 ships totaling 144,384 tons.
		Atlantis was delayed by ice until 31 March 1940, when the former battleship Hessen, now a radio controlled target vessel, was set to act as an icebreaker.
		By April, Atlantis had returned to the Atlantic where, on the 17th, Kapitän Rogge, understandably mistaking the Egyptian liner Zamzam for a British liner being used as a troop carrier or Q-ship, as she was in fact the former Bibby Liner Leicestershire, opened fire at 8.4 km.

	German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis
		Atlantis was delayed by ice until March 31, 1940, when the former battleship Hiessen, now a radio controlled target vessel[?], was set to act as an icebreaker[?].
		By this time, Atlantis was pretending to be a Soviet vessel named Krim by flying the Soviet Naval Ensign[?], displaying a hammer and sickle on the bridge, and having Cyrillic[?] and English warnings on the stern, "Keep clear of propellors."
		By April, Atlantis had retured to the Atlantic where, on the 17th, Kapitän Rogge, mistaking the Egyptian liner Zamzam for a British liner being used as a troop carrier or Q-ship, opened fire at 8.4km.

	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The submarine and her plane could then act as a reconnaissance unit ahead of the fleet, an essential role at a time when radar still did not exist.
		The first example was the British HMS M2, followed by the French Surcouf, and numerous aircraft-carrying submarines in the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		The sinking of the antiquated cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror was the first sinking by a nuclear-powered submarine in war.

		With HMS Trinidad she was involved without avail in getting a number of French warships including the Carrier Bearn to join the Free French.
		In a joint operation with the carrier HMS Eagle, Dunedin was dispatched on 29th May to search for an enemy supply ship (not known at the time to be the Lothringen), reported as being somewhere in the region of 25 degrees North, 34 degrees West.
		She sank Atlantis but stayed far enough away from U-126 to avoid being attacked and reported en clair that there were survivors in the water.

	Norwegian Victims of Atlantis - Norwegian Merchant Fleet 1939-1945
		On Atlantis this radio activity had been noted, and Rogge, therefore, found it best to leave the scene as quickly as possible, and the two ships did not meet again until four days later further south, at which time Silvaplana was ordered to the position 27 40S 15440W to wait there.
		As it turned out, this was Atlantis' last prize as she on her way home (camouflaged as the Dutch Polyphemus?), was located and sunk by the British cruiser Devonshire on Nov. 22 while replenishing U-126 south of the Equator.
		She was intercepted by minelayer HMS Adventure on Apr. 10-1943, and was scuttled to avoid capture, 43 18N 14 26W.

		Every year HMS ENDURANCE makes an important contribution to the safety of seafarers and other visitors who come in ships and yachts to the waters of South Georgia.
		HMS ENDURANCE's achievements during the last year's Falklands campaign while rightly hailed, have tended to overshadow the outstanding contribution she has made over many years, thousands of miles from her home base, in liaising with and sustaining the outstations of the Falkland Islands and the Scientific bases of the Dependencies and Antarctica.
		It is in acknowledgment of her long standing and continuing service on behalf of those who live and work in the Falkland Islands and their Dependencies and Antarctica, for which she has received many independent and unsolicited testimonials, that Endurance has been chosen to receive the Wilkinson Sword of Peace Award for 1982.

	Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser / Raider) - Atlantis
		Atlantis crew rescued by the supply ship Python, which is later sunk by the heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire.
		Having stalked her all day, she was attacked and battered to a standstill by six rapid salvos, which left her deck cargo, the aircraft, on fire, her funnel and mast down, rudder jammed, 12 of her crew dead and the rest in the water.
		Atlantis was no match for a heavy cruiser armed with eight 8-inch guns, and even with both engines fully operational, was slower by about 14 knots, so Rogge knew his only hope was to lure her closer, within range of his guns and torpedoes.

		Aboard the Atlantis -- Until not many years ago, when scientists set out to study the deep sea, their chief tool was a long net dragged by a powerful ship.
		Those aboard Atlantis plan to focus their research on the deep-sea coral communities that cling to the submerged cliffs of the seamounts.
		The teachers aboard Atlantis will compare modern scientists' work to that conducted during the 1,000-day voyage of the HMS Challenger in the 1870s, said Ivar Babb, director of the undersea research center.
