From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grampus is a fictional character who appeared in the 1989 television series TUGS, created by the producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Grampus is a 'midget' submarine 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 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 eighth member.

Grampus was voiced by British actor Lee Cornes. In Salty's Lighthouse he became a female character.
