Grampus (TUGS)

Grampus (TUGS)

Grampus is a fictional character who appeared in the 1988 television series TUGS, created by the producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Grampus is a 'midget' submarine once owned by the navy. He is a close friend with the Star Fleet and has helped them out in various situations. He appeared for the first time in Pirate, in which he helped to prove Ten Cents' innocence. In Regatta, he was nearly blown up by Bluenose the naval tug having been branded as 'too old' for further service. He speaks with a Central English accent (with a noticeable lisp).

He was thankfully swiftly rescued by the Star Fleet. On the same day, he was bought by Captain Star and joined the Star Tugs as their first star submarine.

Grampus also has a tendency to blow water in the tug's faces, mostly at Bluenose in "Regatta/4th of July"

Grampus was voiced by British actor Lee Cornes.

In "Salty's Lighthouse" he was voiced by American voice actor Brad Swaile.

Grampus is probably based on a "Plunger"-class submarine torpedo boat and is probably named after the USS Grampus (SS-4) which was a Plunger class submarine
