  USN Ships--USS Sealion (SS-195)
She was commissioned in late November 1939 and, in the spring of 1940, deployed to the Far East to strengthen the defenses of the Philippines as relations with Japan deteriorated.
The remains of the Post Office are in the left foreground, and the bomb-damaged submarine USS Sealion (SS-195) lies across the center of the image.
Sealion had been fatally damaged by Japanese bombs on 10 December 1941 and was scuttled on 25 December, before U.S. forces abandoned Cavite.

SEALION was then forced deep and, after several attempts to get a better look at the scene, cleared the area and started after the remainder of the convoy.
From Pearl Harbor, SEALION continued on to San Francisco where she was undergoing overhaul at the end of the war.
A year and one-half later, however, SEALION, along with sister ship PERCH (SS-313), was designated for conversion to a troop carrier, and in April 1948, she entered the San Francisco Naval Shipyard for the eight-months conversion.

 USS SEALION
SEALION, nested at Machina Wharf, had SEADRAGON inboard and the minesweeper BITTERN outboard.
LCDR Voge saw the first wave of bombs land 100 to 200 yards astern of SEALION and noticed that the planes were too high to reach by machine gun fire.
While the SEALION crew was spared from that initial blast, a fragment of the bomb pierced the conning tower of the inboard SEADRAGON killing ENS Sam Hunter, the first submarine casualty of the war.

The SEALION has an enclosed cockpit for the crew and passengers — such as SEALS —; that provides a quiet, comfortable environment, and improves the ability of the passengers to perform their duties after a long transit.
However, some of the technologies demonstrated in the SEALION may prove useful in the development of a follow-on to the Mark V. As a technology demonstrator, SEALION I is not armed but is designed accept a variety of modular mission payloads and could accept a modular weapons system, according to program officials.
SEALION II is being designed to accommodate a short-range strike missile, to demonstrate a modular payload with a precision-strike capability.

 Sealion Fails parts 1 to 12
In Germany, the Sealion disaster was a profound shock, both emotionally and physically.
Germany's continuing economic difficulties as a result of the river barge losses during the Sealion debacle meant that Army Group South was relegated to a holding attack, but north of the Pripyet Marshes, Army Groups North and Center exploded across the frontier in all of the Wehrmacht's customary fury.
After all, the failure of Sealion had proved that battleships were relatively safe from air attack, as long as friendly fighters were available.

As SEALION is a technology demonstrator, it is not necessarily headed for a particular acquisition program or even a particular sponsor, although we work very closely with special operations command and some applicability in the deployable vehicle area for surface warfare.
The SEALION program has identified three distinct levels of modularity and is in the process of designing a mid-range level of a modular SEALION.
The third level of modularity was demonstrated by a mockup of the SEALION, which incorporates the removal of the aft third of a SEALION craft.

 Gateway: Why Operation Sealion Wouldn't Work
Unfortunately, what most don't realize is that Sealion was nothing more than a pipe dream - utterly unworkable in any alternate history at all similar to the history we are familiar with.
The supply line of Sealion would be ridiculously inadequate, and would need to be many times larger to be physically capable of transporting enough supplies for a credible invasion.
Something that is often sadly ignored in Sealion scenarios (except the ones that the Germans themselves came up with, one of the main reasons Sealion was never more than a pipe dream to them), is that the invasion fleet and its supplies must cross a body of water known as the English Channel.

For Sealion to be successfull, Germany would have need a good plan, control of the Channel, Air Control, and resources to ship men and amunition through the Channel.

 Prototype behavioural enrichment designs for the sealion
The idea of the sealions selecting from different "holes" is interesting ­ a bookcase structure with flaps and random toys and food rewards could be lowered into the "off display" pools for their investigation.
Unfortunately we have just completed the original Bluebird sealion and penguin shores exhibit and could not afford to make such an enrichment at this stage (remember our largest male sealion is 160kg and the "maize" would need to be huge!) Thank you for your suggestions.
The sealions would chase the fish and catch them as they might in the wild, but it wouldn't offend visitors because the fish would already be dead.

 Axis History Factbook: Review - Operation Sealion
Robert Cox was an officer in the parachute regiment, and then the military affairs editor of the Daily Mail at a time when this paper must have had rather different aspirations then today.
During his tenure at the Daily Mail, he arranged for a wargame of a hypothetical Operation Sealion at the British Army’s officer school of Sandhurst, with support from the Staff College.
It holds some niche value as a study of Sealion, and it is a shame that not more has been made of the wargame, which after all was a serious affair, held at the staff college, with very distinguished expert input.

 ::Operation Sealion::
Operation Sealion was the name given by Hitler for the planned invasion of Great Britain in 1940.
Operation Sealion was never carried out during the war as the Germans lost the Battle of Britain and it is now believed that Hitler was more interested in the forthcoming attack on Russia as opposed to invading Britain.
This came out of the success the military had against Poland and the nations of Western Europe - countries attacked without the overwhelming support of the military but attacked because Hitler instinctively knew that they would win - or so he believed.
