Thank you CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing Private SNAFU Presents Seaman Tarfu in the Navy 1946 US Army-US Navy Training Cartoon
"An animated cartoon shows Pvt. Snafu introducing Seaman Tarfu who scrubs a deck, pipes an admiral aboard, and keeps a lookout from the crow's nest..."
Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional cartoon shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale.
The series was directed by Chuck Jones and other prominent Hollywood animators, and the voice of Private Snafu was performed by Mel Blanc...
In 1946, a series of cartoons for the Navy featuring Private Snafu's brother "Seaman Tarfu" (for "Things Are Really Fouled Up") was planned, but the war came to a close and the project never materialized, save for a single cartoon entitled Private Snafu Presents Seaman Tarfu in the Navy. In the cartoon Three Brothers, it is revealed that Snafu has two brothers, a carrier pigeon keeper named Tarfu and a dog trainer named Fubar..."
