Named after Prince Eugene of Savoy, Prinz Eugen was a Hipper-class heavy cruiser. Prinz Eugen fought alongside the German super battleship Bismarck in the Battle of Denmark Strait (May 24, 1941). Together, they scuttled the Royal Navy ship HMS Hood, and mauled the Prince of Wales. Prinz Eugen separated with the Bismarck, and afterwards the Bismarck was sunk by HMS Dorsetshire and Sworfish torpedo bombers. After the loss of Bismarck, Adolf Hitler banned further surface raids (they used U-boats instead). Prinz Eugen was then assigned to defend Norwegian waters, along with battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Her stern was destroyed by a torpedo from HMS Trident on February 23, 1942.\n\nFrom 1944 onward, Prinz Eugen was assigned to the Baltic coast. There she met with the light cruiser Leipzig, and almost destroyed the ship.\n\nOn April 20, 1945 Prinz Eugen reached Copenhagen and never left the port again. Along with Nurnberg, they were the only two operational German cruisers left and surrendered on May 7, 1945.

No. The A34 Comet Cruiser didn't enter service until the very end of 1944, and saw no major battles during the war. (Too bad, because i think it would have been highly successful.)

Here you go.  The Reuben James.\n\nIn October 31, 1941, a little more than a month before the United States entered the Second World War, USS Reuben James (DD 245) was escorting a convoy about 600 miles west of Ireland. With 44 merchantmen in the convoy, Reuben James, along with the destroyers Tarbell (DD 142), Benson (DD 421), Hilary P. Jones (DD 427) and Niblack (DD 424), was holding an average speed just under nine knots. It was 5:39 a.m. and Reuben James was 2,000 yards off the convoy's port flank. Without warning, a torpedo struck Reuben James, tearing her in two.\n\nThe bow section sank immediately and the stern went up in a tremendous explosion. Within minutes, there was nothing left of Reuben James. Only 45 of the 160 man crew survived, and Reuben James became the first destroyer casualty of World War II.\n\nTake a look at the link below.  For extra points, it is worth ready about the Greer and the Kearny.  Those two destroyer captains each had a "rabbit's foot" in their pocket.

It wasn't just U-boat that were called "pig-boats", it was any submarine. During WWII, living conditions were not the greatest. The smells that would accumulate inside the hull would remind sailors of the smells from a pig farm.
