Colonel ( United Kingdom ) Colonel is a rank of the British forces , ranking below Brigadier , and above Lieutenant Colonel . British Colonels are not usually field commanders ; typically they serve as staff officers between field commands at battalion and brigade level . The insignia is two diamond shaped pips ( properly called " Bath Stars " ) below a crown . The crown has varied in the past with different monarchs ; the current Queen ' s reign has used St Edward ' s Crown . From 1 April 1918 to 31 July 1919 , the Royal Air Force maintained the rank of colonel . It was superseded by the rank of group captain on the following day . Ceremonial ranks . In the British Army , " Colonel " may also refer to the ceremonial head of a regiment . This is almost always a general officer or Brigadier , often retired , with a close link to the regiment in question . Some non - military personnel may be appointed to the position , thereby holding an Honorary rank of Colonel for the duration of the appointment , though usually with the Territorial Army units . The position is often described as " Colonel of the Regiment " , to distinguish it from the rank of Colonel . When attending functions as " Colonel of the Regiment " , the officer wears the rank insignia of ( full ) Colonel , regardless of their official rank . This position may also be held by a member of the Royal Family , who is then known as a " Royal Colonel " . Colonel - in - Chief is also a ceremonial title of the British Army and various Commonwealth armies . It is usually held by a member of the Royal Family . The Colonel of the Regiment often has a closer involvement with the regiment and its Regimental Association than does the Colonel - in - Chief , as she / he has usually had direct military involvement , unlike the members of the Royal Family . " Colonel of Marines " was once an honor bestowed upon Royal Navy Post - captain s as a reward for highly distinguished service . This was a salaried sinecure position with no additional obligations outside the captain ' s normal naval duties . He would lose this title and its additional pay upon reaching flag rank . Horatio Nelson was given such a colonelcy in 1795 , two years before he reached flag rank .
Amakuni The legend . One day , Amakuni and his son , Amakura , were standing in the doorway of their shop , watching the Emperor ' s warrior s return from battle . Although having done so on previous occasions , the Emperor did not give Amakuni any sign of recognition . Having always looked upon these gestures as a sign of appreciation for his efforts and hard work , Amakuni suddenly noticed that nearly half of the returning warriors were carrying broken sword s . Determined to make things right , Amakuni and Amakura went about gathering remnants of the swords and examined them . It appeared that the chief reasons for breakage were that the swords had been improperly forged and that the soldiers had struck hard objects , probably armor or other weapons , with them . Once again , the Emperor ' s subtle yet audible rebuff ran through his mind . Tears filled Amakuni ' s eyes , and he said to himself , " If they are going to use our swords for such slashing , I shall make one that will not break . " With this vow , Amakuni and his son sealed themselves away in the forge and prayed for seven days and seven nights to the Shinto gods . Amakuni then selected the best iron sand ore he could obtain and refined it into steel . Working without rest , the two worked at their apparently impossible task . Thirty one days later , Amakuni and his son emerged gaunt and weary from the forge with a single - edged sword with curvature . Undaunted by the other swordsmiths , who believed them to be insane , Amakuni and Amakura ground and polished the new sword . During the following months , Amakuni and his son continued with their work , forging many types of improved swords . In the following spring , there was another war . Again the samurai returned , and as they passed by , he counted over thirty - one swords with perfect , intact blades . As the Emperor passed , he smiled and said , " You are an expert swordmaker . None of the swords you have made failed in this battle . " Amakuni rejoiced and once more felt that life was full and joyous . No one knows when Amakuni died .

GBU - 24 Paveway III GBU - 24 Paveway III or simply GBU - 24 is a family of laser - guided bomb s , a sub - group of the larger Raytheon Paveway III family of weapon s . The Paveway guidance package consists of a seeker package attached to the nose of the weapon , and a wing kit attached to the rear to provide stability and greater range . Warhead options consist of : Compared to the GBU - 10 family , or the Paveway II family , the GBU - 24 glides further as a result of more efficient guidance technology . The Paveway III guidance kit is more expensive , however , making the GBU - 24 suitable against well - defended , high - value targets . It was introduced into service c . 1983 . This weapon is in service with the USAF , US Navy , US Marine Corps , and various NATO air force s . The bomb requires a spot of pulse - coded laser energy to home on ; this can be supplied by the delivery aircraft , another aircraft ( Buddy Lasing ) , a UAV , or by a Ground Laser Designator . After release from the delivery aircraft , the thermal battery for the Guidance Computer Group fires to supply power ; the arming wire for the fuze is withdrawn ; the wings are released ; and depending on the configuration , either the turbine generator or the safety switch ( to power the fuze ) is activated . Once this has happened , the seeker guides the bomb toward the designated impact point . If the laser illumination is lost , the bomb stops guiding and follows a roughly ballistic path , although interference from the guidance kit can lead to the weapon wandering off course . While the GBU - 24 is guided , it is not a powered weapon , i . e . it has no propulsion . Its range , therefore , depends on aircraft speed , altitude , wind speed , etc . The GBU - 24 is precise enough to be able to fly down ventilation shafts into hardened targets , although accuracy is usually dependent on the ability to point the laser correctly rather than the bomb ' s ability to hit the impact point . The GBU - 24 is cleared on aircraft such as the F - 15E , F - 16A MLU , F - 16C Block 40 / 42 , F - 16C Block 50 / 52 CCIP , F - 16C + Block 30 SCU8 , F / A - 18 , Panavia Tornado , Eurofighter Typhoon , Mirage 2000 , Rafale , F - 14 Tomcat ( prior to the Tomcat ' s retirement from US Navy service ) , F - 111C AUP and the Predator C UAVs .
USS Torch ( 1814 ) USS " Torch " was a schooner — heavily - armed with guns and carronade s — in the United States Navy during the early years of the republic . She was built for service in the War of 1812 , but did not see service until the Barbary Wars when she was sent with the American fleet to the Mediterranean to force an end to piracy of American ships . Purchased for the War of 1812 . " Torch " — a privateer schooner purchased at Baltimore , Maryland , in 1814 and initially commanded by Lt . Wolcott Chauncey — formed part of the " flying squadron " slated to cruise the West Indies to wage war on British commerce towards the end of the War of 1812 . However , the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on 18 February 1815 terminated hostilities before the squadron , then forming at New York City , could get to sea to undertake wartime operations . Assigned to the Barbary Wars . The kidnapping and piratical activities of the Algerians soon dispelled the hard - won peace which had so recently come to the United States . Only five days after hostilities with Great Britain ceased , the United States declared war on Algeria . Subsequently , a squadron under the command of Capt . Stephen Decatur , in " Guerriere " , set sail from New York City on 20 May , bound for the Mediterranean . On 19 June , the Americans made landfall off Cape Gata , Spain , and soon sighted " Mashouda " , the frigate flying the flag of Algerian Admiral Rais Hammida . Giving chase , the Yankee squadron heavily damaged the enemy ship — decapitating Hammida with a 32 - pounder shot in the process — and forced her to surrender . The remainder of the squadron set out in search of other Algerian vessels while " Mashouda " was sent to Cartagena , Spain under guard of " Macedonian " . Off Cape Palos , Spain , this remainder spotted 22 - gun brig " Estido " and bent on sail to make contact . The wily enemy , however , ran into shoal waters where the heavier American frigates feared to go for danger of running aground . " Torch " , whose shallower draft permitted her to give chase , joined " Epervier " , " Spitfire " , and " Spark " in forcing " Estido " aground . The Americans took possession of the enemy brig and 83 prisoners . The successful conclusion of the campaign to force the Algerians to abandon their piratical ways followed thereafter . " Torch " subsequently returned home to the United States and was sold on 3 April 1816 .
