Aside from having his outer covering slightly ruflled "Henry the Fifth" escaped injury. "Uig Tom" is a black Langsliaii rooster, and "Henry the Fifth" is a Tom cat. They were left on board to test the fate of live things on the target battleship. When Secretary Meyer went aboard the dismantled warship be found the rooster standing aloft on one leg, crowing lustily.
