Able seaman ( rank ) In the British Royal Navy in the middle of the 18th century , the term able seaman ( abbreviated AB ) referred to a seaman with at least two years ' experience at sea . Seamen with less experience were referred to as landmen or ordinary seamen . Royal Navy . In 1653 the Royal Navy introduced a new pay scale as part of reforms following defeat in the Battle of Dungeness the previous year . Included in these reforms were , for the first time , separate pay scales for more experienced seamen . It distinguished between an ordinary seaman and an able seaman . The higher ranked able seaman could steer , use the lead and work aloft , traditionally to “ hand , reef , and steer . ” An able seaman received about 25 % higher pay than an ordinary seaman . In time of war ( such as the Seven Years ' War or the Napoleonic Wars ) , with many more warship s in service , the navy , merchant marine , and privateer s competed ferociously for the limited pool of able seamen , leading to the unpopular use of impressment by the Royal Navy to keep its ships manned . In peacetime , with fewer active warships , there was usually a surplus of unemployed able seamen willing to work in the navy . As late as the Napoleonic Wars , the Royal Navy ' s practice of stopping American ships to press American sailors into involuntary service was one of the main factors leading to the War of 1812 with the United States . Notable able seamen . Some notable able seamen from the Royal Navy include : Royal Canadian Navy .

Able seamen wear a single gold chevron , point down , as an insignia of rank ; it is worn on the upper part of both sleeves of the service dress tunic , and on slip - ons on both shoulders on other uniforms . In all trades , the rank is awarded on completion of 30 months of service , by which time all initial training is completed . Consequently , it is sometimes said that promotion to the rank of Able Seaman means the recipient has lost their ' best excuse ' , on the theory that Ordinary Seamen are generally assumed to know nothing . Able seaman is the equivalent rank to private ( trained ) , or simply private , in the Army and Air Force . In French the rank is called " matelot de 2e classe " .

Universal Combat Platform T - 99 The " Armata " Universal Combat Platform is a Russia n advanced next generation heavy military tracked vehicle platform . The " Armata " platform is intended to be the basis for a main battle tank , a heavy infantry fighting vehicle , a combat engineering vehicle , an armoured recovery vehicle , a heavy armoured personnel carrier , a tank support combat vehicle and several types of self - propelled artillery under the same codename based on the same chassis . It will also serve as the basis for artillery , air defense , and NBC defense systems . Russian Lieutenant - General Yuri Kovalenko states that the " Armata " combat platform will utilize many features of the T - 95 tank , of which only a few prototypes have been built . In the main battle tank variant , the ammunition compartment will be separate from the crew , increasing operational safety while the engine will be more powerful and the armor , main gun and autoloader will be improved . The prototype is scheduled to enter field trials in 2013 , about 10 months ahead of schedule . First Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Sukhorukov said . The new tank is under development at Uralvagonzavod in Omsk . The first deliveries of the tank to the Russian Armed Forces are scheduled for 2015 . A total of 2 , 300 MBTs are expected to be supplied by 2020 . The tank will have an unmanned , remotely controlled turret . It will be digitally controlled by a crewmember located in a separate compartment . It is believed this would eventually lead to the development of a fully robotic tank . The name designation of this tank ( or more correctly " prospective family of heavy unified battlefield platforms " - " перспективный ряд тяжёлых унифицированных платформ поля боя " ) " Armata " is the plural of the Hellenic ( Greek ) word " arma " ( άρμα ) which means weapon and was an old Russian word for early guns . Inevitably this was wrongly transcribed as " Armada " by journalists . According to preliminary reports , the new tank designated T - 99 will be less radical and ambitious than the failed ‘ Object 195 ’ or T - 95 , it will weigh less , therefore , become more agile and will be more affordable , compared to its more ambitious predecessors . The Russian industry is also developing the Boomerang family of 8×8 wheeled armored vehicles which will gradually replace the current BTR - 90 . Additionally , the Kurganets - 25 tracked armored vehicle provides high degree of commonality with the new Armata tank . The Kurganets - 25 will evolve into various models , gradually replacing BMP and BMD and MT - LB and other types of tracked armored platforms . Prototypes of heavy armored vehicles based on the Armata combat platform are planned to be presented at the defense exhibition Russian Arms Expo in Nizhny Tagil in September 2013 . Testing of the Armata will begin in November 2013 .
