sentences: Driggs-Schroeder was the name of several naval guns designed by US Navy officers William H. Driggs and Seaton Schroeder for the United States Navy in the late 1880s, fitted on ships built in the 1890s.
 Driggs later founded the Driggs-Seabury Ordnance Company in 1897, in partnership with Louis Labodie "L. L." Driggs and Samuel Seabury, a retired US Navy officer.
The Barrow Park Cenotaph is the main war memorial in the UK town of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, North West England.
 Located in Barrow's main public park, the structure is grade II listed.
 It is made from Portland limestone and is pillar like in appearance.
 It was built in 1919 in commemoration of the 616 Barrovian men who lost their lives in combat during World War I, however since then the names of 274 more locals have been added (268 of these being fatalities of World War II and 6 of the Korean War).
 The cenotaph currently only bears the names of Barrovians lost during these three wars whilst in military action (i.e. excluding civilians killed in the Barrow Blitz).
 Two inscriptions on the memorial read, "to the glory of god and in honoured memory of the men of Barrow-in-Furness who fell in the great war" and "in honoured memory of all service personnel who gave their lives in then 1939–1945 war.
 Also Korea and Cyprus campaigns having made the supreme sacrifice that we might live lest we forget".
A Fitness Report (FITREP) is an evaluation form used by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.
 Navy officers are given Fitness Reports, while Navy chief petty officers (E-7 to E-9) are given "Chief EVALs" and Navy sailors E-6 and below are issued Evaluation Reports (EVALs).
 Marine enlisted from the rank of sergeant (E-5) to sergeant major/ master gunnery sergeant (E-9) and officers are given Fitness Reports, while junior Marines are given Proficiency and Conduct marks ("Pros/Cons").
The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) are a group of college-based officer training programs for training commissioned officers of the United States Armed Forces.
 ROTC officers serve in all branches of the U.S. armed forces (although the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard do not have their own respective ROTC programs, graduates of ROTC programs do currently serve as Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers).
 In 2010, ROTC graduates constituted 38.5 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Army officers, 1.8 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Marine Corps officers (through NROTC), 16.7 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Navy officers, and 38.1 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Air Force officers, for a combined 30 percent of all active duty officers in the Department of Defense commissioned that year.
 Under ROTC, a student may receive a competitive, merit-based scholarship, covering all or part of college tuition, in return for an obligation of active military service after graduation.
Jesse Barrett "Oley" Oldendorf (16 February 1887 – 27 April 1974) was an admiral in the United States Navy, famous for defeating a Japanese force in the Battle of Leyte Gulf during World War II.
 He also served as commander of the American naval forces during the early phase of the Battle of the Caribbean.
 In early 1942, a secret group of senior Navy officers empaneled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt assessed him as one of the 40 most competent of the 120 flag officers in the Navy.
World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier.
 It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
 It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries.
 In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources.
The Coast Guard Officers' Sword, used by the United States Coast Guard, is almost identical to the Model 1852 Navy Officers' Sword.
 The only difference is that the Coast Guard Officers' Sword has "US Coast Guard" inscribed on it instead of "US Navy".
In the United States Navy, officers have various ranks.
 Equivalency between services is by pay grade.
 United States Navy commissioned officer ranks have two distinct sets of rank insignia: on dress uniform a series of stripes similar to Commonwealth naval ranks are worn, while on service khaki, working uniforms (Navy Working Uniform [NWU], and coveralls), and special uniform situations (combat utilities, flight suits, and USMC uniforms when worn by Navy officers assigned or attached to USMC units), the rank insignia are similar (there are subtle differences in the size, shape, and design of naval services insignia) to the equivalent rank in the US Army or US Air Force.
The Louis DeSaussure House is an antebellum house at 1 East Battery, Charleston, South Carolina.
 The house was designed and built for Louis DeSaussure by William Jones and completed in late 1859.
 The three-story, masonry house follows a traditional side hall plan; two adjacent parlors are fronted with piazzas along the south side while a stair hall runs along the north side with a front door facing east onto East Battery.
 In 1865 during the Civil War, the house was damaged when evacuating Confederate forces blew up a large cannon at the corner of East Battery and South Battery; a piece of the cannon was lodged in the attic of the house.
 The balconies on the East Battery façade and window ornaments were installed when the house was restored after the earthquake of 1886 by Bernard O'Neill, who bought it in 1888.
 The house was used by the military to house Navy officers during World War II and was later converted into apartments.
 The carriage house for 1 East Battery was later subdivided into a separate house known as 2 South Battery.
The Merchant Navy Training Board (abbreviated to MNTB) is a voluntary body responsible for maritime training in the United Kingdom and for the training of the British Merchant Navy.
 They actively promote seafarer training in the UK and are responsible for the official UK government training syllabuses for Merchant Navy Officers.
 Officers are issued with an MNTB training portfolio which must be completed.
 The MNTB are based at the UK Chamber of Shipping office in London.
