Women ' s Royal Canadian Naval Service The Women ' s Royal Canadian Naval Service was an element of the Royal Canadian Navy that was active during the Second World War and post - war as part of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve until unification in 1968 . The WRCNS ( or Wrens ) was modelled on the Women ' s Royal Naval Service , which had been active during the First World War and then revived in 1939 . The Royal Canadian Navy was slow to create a women ' s service , only establishing the WRCNS in July 1942 , nearly a year after the Canadian Women ' s Army Corps and the Royal Canadian Air Force Women ' s Division . By the end of the war however nearly 7 , 000 women had served with the WRCNS in 39 different trades . HMCS " Conestoga " , the WRCNS training centre in Galt , Ontario , became the first female - commanded Canadian commissioned ship in June 1943 when Lieutenant Commander Isabel Macneill was appointed commanding officer . That September Commander Adelaide Sinclair became the first Canadian Director of the WRCNS , a position she held until disbandment . The WRCNS was disbanded in July 1946 , but revived as part of the Naval Reserve at the beginning of the Korean War . It was disbanded a second time in 1968 when the Royal Canadian Navy as a whole was folded into the unified Canadian Forces .
D2G reactor The D2G reactor was a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to provide electricity generation and propulsion on warship s . The D2G designation stands for : This model of nuclear reactor was installed on the " Bainbridge " , " Truxtun " , " California " , and " Virginia " classes of guided missile cruiser s . The only nuclear - powered cruiser in the United States Navy not equipped with a D2G reactor was the world ' s first nuclear cruiser , the USS " Long Beach " ( CGN - 9 ) , which used a C1W reactor . All of the Navy ' s nuclear cruisers have been decommissioned . Operation . Rated for a maximum thermal output of 150 megawatts , the reactors were designed to last 15 years with normal usage . The Navy ' s nuclear cruisers were outfitted with two reactors per ship , each having the ability to cross - connect the steam and condensate systems between plants to power both engine rooms from a single reactor . With both reactors running and the steam plants split , the average cruiser could reach 32 knots ( 59 . 2 km / h ) . With one reactor running and the steam plants cross - connected , the ship could reach 25 – 27 knots ( 46 . 3 – 50 km / h ) . With one reactor running , the steam plants split , and running on one shaft , the ship could reach only 15 knots ( 27 . 7 km / h ) . Design . These reactors were boron - doped vertically for longer core life , and axially for even power distribution without hot spots . They employ 12 X - shaped control rod s driven by DC - powered movable armature reluctance motors . Three main loops driven by three variable - speed reactor coolant pumps supplied three steam generators with water , which in turn supplied saturated steam to the engine room .

ARA Veinticinco de Mayo ( C - 2 ) The ARA " Veinticinco de Mayo " was a cruiser which served in the Argentine Navy through World War II . The English translation of the name is May 25 , which is the date of Argentina ' s May Revolution in 1810 . The " Veinticinco de Mayo " was built in Italy and was the first ship of the " Veinticinco de Mayo " class of cruisers . Three vessels were to be produced , but in the end , only " 25 de Mayo " and her sister ship " Almirante Brown " were acquired , both in 1931 . These ships were unusual in several ways . First , they carried 7 . 5 inch guns , only the third class of warship to do so . Also , like the Italian " Zara " class and other Italian - built warships of the era they carried their floatplanes under the foredeck and launched them from a fixed catapult over the bows .
EKW C - 36 The EKW C - 36 was a Swiss multi - purpose combat aircraft of the 1930s and 40s , build by the Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette . It was a single - engined monoplane with a crew of two . It entered service in 1942 , and despite being obsolete , remained in front line use until the early 1950s , and as a target tug until 1987 . Development and design . In 1935 , the Swiss Air Force developed a requirement for a replacement for Switzerland ' s Fokker C . V - E biplanes , which were used as reconnaissance aircraft , escort fighters and patrol aircraft . To meet this requirement , the Swiss Federal Constructions Works ( EKW ) proposed two designs , a modernised C . V , the EKW C - 35 and an all new monoplane , the C - 36 . Orders for 80 C - 35s were placed in 1936 , but no decision was made about whether to order the C - 36 , with preference being given to the purchase of foreign twin - engined aircraft for the role , attempts been made to buy Messerschmitt Bf 110 s from Germany or Potez 63 s from France . These attempts failed , however , and in 1938 approval was given for EKW to complete detailed design of the C - 36 and to build a prototype . The first prototype , the C - 3601 , carried out its maiden flight on 15 May 1939 . It was a low winged cantilever monoplane of all metal construction . It was powered by a single licence - built Hispano - Suiza 12Y engine driving a three - bladed variable - pitch propellor . A crew of two sat in tandem under a long continuous canopy . The aircraft was fitted with a twin tail , and had a fixed tailwheel undercarriage . The C - 3601 crashed on 20 August 1939 due to wing flutter , but a second prototype , the C - 3602 , which had a more powerful engine and a constant - speed propellor flew on 30 November that year . Testing was successful , and orders were placed in 1940 for an initial batch of 10 C - 3603 with a retractable undercarriage . Operational history . The C - 2603s , along with EKW D - 3801 ' s , fought off trespassing aircraft to defend Swiss neutrality , but were soon relegated to training and target - towing duties . The last variant of the C - 36 aircraft family , the turboprop powered C - 3605 , had its maiden flight in 1968 remaining in service with the Swiss Air Force until 1988 . Thanks to its Black and yellow striped colouration , the C - 3605 was called " Flying Zebra Crossing " . After retirement several aircraft were kept airworthy on the Civil aircraft register
VFC - 111 Fighter Squadron Composite 111 ( VFC - 111 ) " Sun Downers " is a US Navy Reserve adversary squadron based at Naval Air Station Key West , Florida ( USA ) . Currently , it operates 18 Northrop F - 5N / F Tiger - II s , of which 17 are single - seater F - 5Ns and the remainder being a twin - seater F - 5F , which was dubbed " FrankenTiger " and is one of only three in service with the USN , being a product of grafting the older front half fuselage of the F - 5Fs into the back half fuselage of the newer low - hours F - 5Es acquired from the Swiss Air Force . History . VFC - 111 was originally known as Fighter Composite Squadron 13 ( VFC - 13 ) Detachment Key West , which was established in January 2006 . VFC - 13 Det Key West was redesignated as VFC - 111 in November 2006 . VFC - 111 assumed its ' Sun Downer ' insignia , callsign , and traditions from the VF - 111 Sun Downers , a famous U . S . Navy fighter squadron , that was disestablished as a fleet F - 14 Tomcat squadron at then - NAS Miramar , CA in 1995 . Officially , in contrast with the U . S . Air Force , the U . S . Navy does not recognize a direct lineage with disestablished squadrons . Mission . The Sun Downers operate as part of the U . S . Navy Reserve ' s fleet adversary program , providing dissimilar air combat training to fleet strike fighter and Marine fighter attack squadrons , as well as U . S . Air Force , Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard fighter squadrons . Ostensibly assigned to the Navy Reserve ' s Tactical Support Wing , VFC - 111 is actually an Active - Reserve Integration ( ARI ) unit composed of both Regular Navy and Navy Reserve personnel . In this capacity , it has assumed the adversary role of a since deactivated active duty squadron at NAS Key West known as Fighter Squadron 45 ( VF - 45 ) . VFC - 111 ' s unique location at NAS Key West , Florida , home of the Navy ' s Strike Fighter Air Readiness Program ( SFARP ) , eliminates costly adversary detachments and also provides a significant portion of adversary support to all F / A - 18 Fleet Replacement Squadron s ( FRS ) in the Navy and Marine Corps , i . e . , Strike Fighter Squadron 106 ( VFA - 106 ) at NAS Oceana , VA ; Strike Fighter Squadron 122 ( VFA - 122 ) at NAS Lemoore , CA ; Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 ( VMFAT - 101 ) at MCAS Miramar , CA ; and more recently with Electronic Attack Squadron 129 VAQ - 129 at NAS Whidbey Island , WA following that squadron ' s stand - up of EA - 18G Growler training .
