RN:
HM submarines HMS Tigris and HMS Tuna lying alongside the depot ship HMS Titania. December 1941
Tigris had a quite active career sinking roughly 17,000 tons of shipping as well as the submarines Porfido and Michele Bianchi . On the 18 February 1943 she left Malta for her 18th patrol however when given the order to redeploy to Algiers on the 6 March there was no reply, by the 10th there was still no answer so was declared "overdue".
Tuna is likely best known for her involvement in Operation Frankton, also known as "The Cockleshell raid". Other that this she would see little success only sinking the submarine U-644 , the Catapult ship Ostmark and a tug boat however at the time she was erroneously credited with the sinking of another two subs. She would be sold for scrap shortly after the war and broken up in 1946.

USN:
USS Saratoga after having been hit by a kamikaze, 21 February 1945
Six Japanese planes scored five bomb hits on the carrier in three minutes; three of the aircraft also struck the carrier. Saratoga's flight deck forward was wrecked, her starboard side was holed twice and large fires were started in her hangar deck; she lost 123 of her crew dead or missing as well as 192 wounded. Thirty-six of her aircraft were destroyed. Another attack two hours later further damaged her flight deck. Slightly over an hour later, the fires were under control, and Saratoga was able to recover six fighters.
