In March 1916 , all except " Kronprinzessin Cecilie " and " Ockenfels " were moved from their waterfront piers to an anchorage across the harbor from the Boston Navy Yard . Daily " neutrality duty " by United States Coast Guard harbor tug kept a watchful eye on the ships . Many crew members of the ships eventually went ashore , were processed through immigration , and found employment , while a contingent of musicians from the vessels toured New England , frequently playing at department stores and restaurants , and drawing the ire of the local musicians ' union . After the U . S . declared war on Germany , " Cincinnati " and the other interned ships were seized on 6 April 1917 and handed over to the United States Shipping Board ( USSB ) . The ship was transferred to the Navy 26 July 1917 ; and commissioned 28 July 1917 , Captain R . D . Hasbrouck in command . Between 18 October 1917 and 1 July 1918 , " Covington " made six voyages from Hoboken , New Jersey , to Brest , France , safely transporting more than 21 , 000 troops for service with the American Expeditionary Force .

PRU - 70 < br > The PRU - 70 / P22P - 18 ( V ) is an Armored Survival Vest ( ASV ) that is intended for aircrew s . It will be fielded in 3 sizes ( small , medium , and large ) and was designed in house by Navair ' s Human Systems Division . The vests will be manufactured by Peckham Vocational Industries in Michigan and will be fielded to Navy and Marine aircrew ( not pilots ) in Iraq and Afghanistan . The PRU - 70 merges both the aircrew survival vest and the latest in body armor . The new system was developed to fit the entire range of body types represented by the men and women in current U . S . aircrew population . The PRU - 70 is also designed to reduce the bulk , weight and heat stressors commonly encountered by helicopter aircrews flying six or more hours on combat missions . The PRU - 70 is also constructed from a material called Halo - Tech . Halo - Tech is as fire retardant as the Nomex material used for flight suits and yet is far more durable . The PRU - 70 will also be the first of the survival clothing items produced in the new Coyote Brown camouflage color . The Coyote Brown color was developed to blend into the environment of 70 percent of the world ’ s land masses . The PRU - 70 replaces three different items of aircrew clothing ; the standard AIRSAVE Survival Vest , the separate body armor system that is worn beneath the AIRSAVE survival vest and the current PRU - 60B . According to the manufacturer , this results in reduced cost and configuration management for both forces in combat and in logistic terms , due to the PRU - 70 ’ s ability to be worn as a stand - alone survival vest by simply being configured with or without life preservers ( as authorized ) and by adding or deleting body armor as needed .

Athanase - Charles - Marie Charette de la Contrie Baron Athanase Charles Marie Charette de la Contrie ( born Nantes , 3 September 1832 , died La Basse - Motte ( Saint - Père , Ille - et - Vilaine ) , 9 October 1911 ) was a French royalist military commander . Life . His father was a nephew of the famous General Charette who was shot at Nantes on 29 March 1795 , during the rising of the Vendee . His mother , Louise , Countess de Vierzon , was the daughter of the Duc de Berry and Amy Brown Freeman . As the Duchesse de Berry was at that time in hiding at Nantes , and Charette ' s father was being sought by the police , the child ' s birth was concealed ; he was secretly taken from Nantes on 17 September and was registered in the commune of Sainte - Reine as born on 18 September . Unwilling , by reason of his legitimist antecedents , to serve in France under Louis Philippe , young Charette , in 1846 , entered the Military Academy of Turin ; he left in 1848 to avoid serving Piedmont , the revolutionary policy of that kingdom being evident to him . In 1852 the Duke of Modena , the brother - in - law of Comte de Chambord ' s , appointed Charette sub - lieutenant in an Austrian regiment stationed in the duchy . Duke Francis V was not only ruler of Modena but was also an Austrian archduke and the Jacobite successor to the thrones of England , Scotland and Ireland . Duke Francis was a most exemplary ruler who , with his own hands , tended to and served the victims of cholera that broke out in his duchy when the Piedmontese revolutionary army invaded . The Piedmontese annexed and incorporated Modena into the new , anti - Catholic Italy . Charette was thereby , compelled to relinquish regimental service as , once again , he did not wish to serve in a revolutionary army . In May , 1860 , when two of his brothers , like him eager to fight the Italian revolutionaries , offered their services to the King of Naples , he went to Rome and placed himself at the service of Pius IX , who had commissioned Lamoricière to organize an army for the defence of the Papal States . Charette was appointed captain of the first company of the Franco - Belgian Volunteers , known after 1861 as the Pontifical Zouaves , and was wounded at the Battle of Castelfidardo ( September 1860 ) . After the taking of Rome by the Piedmontese , Charette negotiated with Gambetta for the employment of the French Zouaves in the service of France against Germany ; he was permitted to organize them as " Volunteers of the West " . Wounded at Loigny , Charette was made prisoner ; but he escaped , and on 14 January 1871 , the Provisional Government of France made him a general . He was elected to the National Assembly by the Department of Bouches - du - Rhône , but resigned without taking his seat . Thiers proposed his entering the French army with his Zouaves , but Charette declared his intention of remaining at the pope ' s disposal . On 15 August 1871 , his Zouaves were mustered out of the French army . Retiring into private life , Charette passed his last thirty years serving the cause of religion and hoping for the restoration of the monarchy .
Spanish submarine G - 7 Spanish submarine G - 7 was a submarine of the Spanish Navy from 1942 to 1970 . She was originally the " U - 573 " , a Type VIIC submarine of the German Kriegsmarine . Acquisition . On May 2 , 1942 , " U - 573 " limped into Cartagena harbor , badly damaged after being attacked with two depth charges by an RAF Lockheed Hudson bomber . Realizing that repair was impractical , the Kriegsmarine sold the boat to Spain for 1 . 5 million Reichsmark . The Spanish Navy was obviously interested on the submarine as at the time was trying to locally produce six Type VIIC - class submarines , designated G Class , being unable to meet the target due to technical reasons . On August 2 , she was commissioned into the Spanish Navy as " G - 7 " . Service history . Work started in August 1943 but took four years to complete . The damage caused by the British attack was found to be more extensive than was first thought ; also German technical assistance and parts were difficult to obtain in the last years of World War II and after . In addition , Spain ’ s economy was weak following the Spanish Civil War . Repairs were completed in early 1947 and on 5 November 1947 " G - 7 " was re - commissioned . The bow ' s net cutter and the 20mm antiaircraft cannon were removed . Despite the Type VII being out - dated by the end of World War II , " G - 7 " was the most modern of Spain ’ s submarine fleet ; her other vessels ( two ex - Italian , and four home - built boats ) dating from the early 1930s . " G - 7 " lacked radar and did not possess a Schnorkel . In 1951 development was started on a schnorkel design by Empresa Nacional Bazán , the Spanish shipbuilding company , but these came to nothing when the Spanish Navy bought the former US Navy submarine USS " Kraken " . In 1958 , as one of the few U - boats still in existence , " G - 7 " was used in the German war film " U 47 – Kapitänleutnant Prien " about Gunther Prien and his " U - 47 " . In 1961 the Spanish Navy ’ s submarine force was re - numbered , and " G - 7 " became " S - 01 " . On 2 May 1970 she was de - commissioned after 23 years service . She was auctioned for 3 , 334 , 751 Pts ( about $ 26 , 500 ) , after which , despite efforts to save and preserve her as a museum , the submarine was broken up for scrap .

Commander of the Army ( Sri Lanka ) Commander of the Army is the title of the professional head of the Sri Lanka Army . The current Commander of the Army is Lieutenant General Daya Ratnanayake . It is a position comparable to that of Chief of the General Staff of the British Army . The post traces its roots to the post of General Officer Commanding , Ceylon , which was the title of the General Officer Commanding of the British Army units in Ceylon prior to independence in 1948 . After the formation of the Ceylon Army in 1949 , its first commanding officer was of the rank of Brigadier , hence the title Commander of the Ceylon Army was formally adapted although it was at times referred as " General Officer Commanding , Ceylon " as far as the 1960s . In the recent past serving army commanders have been of the rank of Lieutenant General , promoted to the honorary rank of General when retiring or promoted to Chief of Defence Staff , except in the case of General Sarath Fonseka and Jagath Jayasuriya , in which case he was made General when he was still the Commander of the Army . General Jagath Jayasuriya relinquished his position as Commander , on 1 August 2013 , and was promoted to Chief of the Defence Staff , the most senior appointment in the Sri Lankan Armed Forces .
Capture of Axel The Capture of Axel was a military event during the Dutch Revolt and the Anglo – Spanish War in which the town of Axel defended by the Spanish , was captured by an Anglo - Dutch force led by Sir Philip Sidney with the garrison being put to the sword and was also the was also the first feat of Maurice of Nassau . Maurice of Nassau was appointed stadtholder of Holland and Zeeland on his eighteenth birthday in 1585 and in the following year he began leading the fight . Axel a town in the County of Zeeland was an important fortified city on the South western edge of the Scheldt estuary and had been in the hands of the Spaniards since 1583 when Alexander Farnese , the later Duke of Parma had captured the place . The acquisition would make the Dutch and English holdings in the area such as Ostend and Sluys more secure and a reasonable base from which to launch attacks . Assault & Capture . On June 17 , 1586 along with the assistance of the newly arrived English forces under the Earl of Leicester and Sir Philip Sydney the stage was set for the capture the town Here they joined with Maurice ' s men of Zeelanders and marched towards Axel and on arrival began to besiege it . Maurice had opened the dykes which then flooded the towns around Terneuzen to cut off Axel from the mainland . This was also used to discourage any assistance in terms of relief & supply . Almost immediately an assault was launched but the leading assault troops of forty men under Colonel Jan Pyrom found the surrounding moat very deep . Undeterred they swam across them and with the ladders brought up , scaled the ramparts killing the guard . Once inside they opened the gates for the rest of the besiegers to assault the place . The Dutch companies were first to rush in then followed by the English under Sydney and then Willoughby with the final wave . The Spanish garrison recovered from their surprise but numbers were against them and soon the whole garrison despite gallant resistance was slaughtered with very few being taken prisoner . After the siege Maurice had several redoubts built to protect Axel and the surrounding area . Axel itself was then garrisoned by over 800 soldiers under Colonel Pyron who was rewarded for his services in the action . He then set about dismantling the Catholic magistrates and clearing the city of its inhabitants . Maurice as commander was to make great achievements later on in the States ' campaigns . Sydney would later be mortally wounded in the siege of Zutphen a year later and Leicester would leave soon after , following poor relations with the Dutch and fellow English officers .
