Bergenhus Regiment Bergenhus Regiment was a Norwegian Army infantry regiment located in the counties of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane . It was first formed in 1628 and finally disbanded in 2002 . In 2006 it was decided that as the Norwegian Home Guard has taken over both the territorial responsibility and recruitment area of the old regiments they are recognised as their successors . Thus battle honours and history has been transferred to them and new banners based on the old regimental colours were created to reflect that . The history of Bergenhus Regiment is carried on by Bergenhus Heimevernsdistrikt 09 and Møre og Fjordane Heimevernsdistrikt 11 . Introduction . Bergenhus Regiment was first raised in 1628 as part of the Danish King Christian IV ' s plan to create a Norwegian army . Most armies of that time had in their ranks large proportions of mercenaries , expensive troops to maintain and sometimes of questionable loyalty . Thus by raising an army that was to manned by his own rural subjects he wished to create an organization that would be loyal , could quickly be put on a war - footing and that could serve his interest , both in war and peace . To recruit men for this army all farms in the realm from Båhus in the south to Trøndelag in the central north was organized into the " legd " - system . A " legd " consisted of four full farms , which together would provide and equip a single soldier . The initial strength of the army consisted of five regiments : There were also three independent companies : Baptism of fire and the growth of an institution ( 1628 - 1700 ) . Despite the initial ambitious plans for the creation and further expansion of the Norwegian army , the costs proved too much at the time for any proper organization and fielding of the planned army . Because of this it remained mostly a paper organization until around 1640 when the threat of war loomed on the horizon . The lower ranks had until then been on the rolls , assigned and sometimes trained but the required number of officer were sorely lacking . With the new situation arising in 1640 the number of companies in the regiment was raised from four to six and a number of new officers were hired to fill the vacant positions in the regiment .

Crittenden Report The Crittenden Report was the outcome of a 1957 investigation on the part of a United States Navy Board of Inquiry , officially known as the Board Appointed to Prepare and Submit Recommendations to the Secretary of the Navy for the Revision of Policies , Procedures and Directives Dealing With Homosexuals . Navy Captain S . H . Crittenden , Jr . , chaired the Board . The Board evaluated Navy policies dealing with homosexual personnel that were based in part on the assertions made in the December 1950 final report of the Investigations Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Expenditure in Executive Departments , which said that all of the government ' s intelligence agencies " are in complete agreement that sex perverts in Government constitute security risks . " Senator Clyde Hoey , Democrat of North Carolina , chaired the subcommittee that produced the report , sometimes known as the Hoey Report or the Hoey Investigation . The Crittenden Report , by contrast , concluded that there was " no sound basis for the belief that homosexuals posed a security risk " and criticized the Hoey Report : " No intelligence agency , as far as can be learned , adduced any factual data before that committee with which to support these opinions " and said that " the concept that homosexuals necessarily pose a security risk is unsupported by adequate factual data . " It advocated stringent anti - homosexual policies on grounds unrelated to national security . It said homosexuality was " one of the very bad things in life . . . about which the majority of people know little or nothing . . . Homosexuality is wrong , it is evil , and it is to be branded as such . . . Homosexuality is an offense to all decent and law - abiding people , and it is not to be condoned on grounds of ' mental illness ' any more than other crimes such as theft , homicide or criminal assault . " The Crittenden Report remained secret until 1976 . Navy officials claimed they had no record of studies of homosexuality , but attorneys learned of its existence and obtained it through a Freedom of Information Act request . In September 1981 , the Navy was still unable to fulfill a request for the Report ' s supporting documentation , specifically parts 2 and 3 of the Report , which contain " copies of directives and memoranda regarding homosexual policies , verbatim testimony from Navy officials on the evolution of the World War II wartime antigay policies , and an unidentified ' confidential supplement ' .

Battle of Basya Battle of the Basya ( Basia ) River took place between 24 September and 10 October 1660 , between the forces of the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia , allied with the Cossaks and Tatars , near Basya river in the modern Mahilyow Voblast . Russian army of about 15 , 000 under Yury Dolgorukov met the Polish force of about 24 , 000 under Stefan Czarniecki . The first skirmishes were between the cavalleries of both sides with Russians being victorious . A full - scale battle took place on 28 September on a big field near the village Gubarev . Supported by the artillery , the Russian infantry launched a successful attack on the center of the Polish forces which were seriously decimated . On the flanks , however , the Polish cavalry began to prevail over the Russian one and forced it to retreat in disorder , allowing the main body of the Russian army to be surrounded . However , the Russians continued to fight and didn ' t abandon the field until the end of Polish attacks and their withdrawal . Both sides suffered heavy losses . The hostilities resumed on 10 October after Russians received reinforcement by 900 men of voyevoda Maxim Rtishchev . The army of Dolgorukov managed to throw a forthcoming force of Michał Kazimierz Pac back to its camp but couldn ' t use this success further . Both armies found themselves in a stalemate and the slow approach of the winter in a ravaged environment was seen as a threat on the both sides . The hostilities on the Basya river ended when the Poles heard the news of Ivan Khovansky campaign and decided to leave . Dolgorukov had no order of the Tsar to pursuit the Poles and stayed , awaiting reinforcement from his brother . Strategically , the 1660 campaign showed that the Commonwealth was not able to decide the war on its own even after signing peace with Sweden .
8 . 8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 The 8 . 8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 ( German : " Püppchen " = " dolly " ) was an 88 mm calibre reusable anti - tank rocket launcher developed by Nazi Germany during World War II . It was given to infantry to bolster their anti - tank capability . The weapon was fired from a small two - wheeled gun carriage which fired a rocket - propelled , fin - stabilized grenade with a shaped charge warhead , similar to the grenade of the " Panzerschreck " but not the same . Approximately 3 , 000 units were completed from 1943 to 1945 . It was made in much smaller numbers than either the " Panzerschreck " , which was based on the American Bazooka , or the " Panzerfaust " , which was a disposable recoilless rifle firing an anti - tank grenade . This is partly because it was realized that a simple hollow tube with an ignition device was all that was needed to launch the 88 mm rocket , rather than an elaborate miniature artillery piece with carriage and breech . Due to the carriage and better sights , the accuracy was better , and the range more than double that of the " Panzerschreck " .
French ship Scipion ( 1813 ) The Scipion was a 74 - gun " Téméraire " - class ship of the line of the French Navy .

On 30 September 1827 , she collided with " Provence " , which sustained serious damage and had to return to Toulon for repairs . On 20 October 1827 , she took part in the Battle of Navarino , under Pierre Bernard Milius , sailing behind the " Sirène " in the line . At the outbreak of the battle , " Scipion " narrowly escaped destruction by a fireship which became jammed under her bowsprit ; her fore sails caught fire and the fire spread into the upper gun - deck , but was eventually put out by the crew . " Trident " succeeded in attaching a tow - line to the fireship and , with the assistance of and two other British boats , pulling it clear . " Sirène " , " Trident " and " Scipion " then proceeded to silence the batteries of the fort of Navarino . She was eventually struck in 1846 .
