Cambodian Rebellion ( 1811 – 12 ) The Cambodian Usurpation of 1811 - 1812 was when an army from Siam ( Thailand ) supported Ang Snguon after he overthrew his brother Ang Chan ; but Viet Nam sent a large army to help reinstate Ang Chan at Phnom Penh . King Ang Chan II ( 1791 – 1837 ) acknowledged both Siamese ( Thai ) and Vietnamese suzerainty over his country , Cambodia , hoping to keep the peace by paying tribute to Siam and Vietnam . Snguon , Ang Chan ' s brother , sought Siamese aid in an attempt to usurp the throne in 1811 ; King Rama II ( 1767 – 1824 ) of Siam sent an army , which helped to oust Ang Chan , who fled to southern Vietnam to secure aid to regain the throne . Snguon had plotted to usurp the throne ( worth mentioning is that the support provided from a foreign power – Bangkok – was fairly consistent ) ; because of a sudden military invasion , Ang Chan II was compelled to leave his kingdom and to rush to reach the city of Saigon . Seemingly perturbed , and with growing apprehension of Chan ’ s most friendly entente cordiale with Viet Nam and to his Emperor Gia Long ( 1762 – 1820 ) , the Siamese King Rama II had decided to have a more acquiescent ruler to his imposing geo - political asset ; therefore , he resolved to oust Ang Chan by military pressure . The next year , however , Vietnam ' s Emperor Gia Long sent a large Vietnamese army units which were a powerful military deterrent , whose intimidating presence in Cambodia to support Ang Chan II , caused the Siamese to withdraw from the arena without sustaining major fighting on ground . Because of the new warfare mobility – Ang Chan took Oudong supported by allied military units , Viet Nam proved instrumental in reinstating the legitimate monarch over Cambodian territories and its people . Thus , Ang Chan was enthroned again , and Gia Long became the preferential political patron and privileged relationship ( i . e . authority ) to Cambodia as well . It is ascertained that Cambodia , hoping to keep peaceful terms within its boundaries , had to keep an economic compromise ( sending tribute ) with both Siam and Vietnam . The Khmer Kingdom proved weak ; it alternated as a vassal to both the Thai ( Siamese ) and Vietnamese kings . Although the ascendancy gained over Cambodia was assured , there were short - lived periods of semi - independence between this protectorate and Vietnam ( i . e . the military authority of Saigon ) .

Gaius Hostilius Mancinus Gaius Hostilius Mancinus was a Roman consul in 137 BC . Due to his campaign against Numantia in northern Spain , Plutarch called him " not bad as a man , but most unfortunate of the Romans as a general . " During this campaign in the Numantine War , Mancinus was defeated , showing some cowardice , allegedly putting out his fires and trying to flee by night before being surrounded and forced to make peace . According to Plutarch , Tiberius Gracchus was instrumental in bringing about the peace and saving 20 , 000 Roman soldiers . He returned home something of a hero , but Mancius was put on trial by the Senate , which refused to accept the treaty . While Gracchus and other lieutanants were saved by Scipio Africanus Minor , the Senate decreed that Mancinus be handed over to the Numantines , as some 20 Roman commanders were handed over to the Samnites after the defeat at Caudine Forks in 321 BC . Plutarch does not relate Mancinus ' further fate , but Appian noted that he was taken to Spain and handed over naked to the Numantines , but that they refused to accept him .
U - boat War Badge The U - Boat War Badge ( ) was a German war badge that was awarded to U - boat crew members during World War I and World War II . History . The " U - boat War Badge " was originally instituted during the First World War on February 1 , 1918 . It was awarded to recognize U - boat crews who had completed three war patrols . The badge was worn on the lower left side of the uniform and was oval shaped resembling a wreath of laurel leaves . A submarine lay across the center and the German State Crown ( Reichskrone ) was inlaid at the top center of the wreath . On October 13 , 1939 , the " U - boat War Badge " was reinstituted again , shortly after the war began . It was very similar to the original badge with the exception of the Prussian crown which was replaced with a German Eagle , a swastika was added , and a more modernized submarine now facing towards the left was used . There were several ways to be awarded this medal . The most common would be the completion of two war patrols . Although the completion of two war patrols might seem a lowly requirement , but a typical U - boat war cruise would often run into months at a time . As a contrast , the Infantry Assault Badge was awarded after three combat actions , which meant that they could be earned on three separate actions all under a week . Completing two war patrols was not only longer , but it was equally dangerous as the U - boat has to endure constant attacks by allied aircraft and warship s . During the later part of the war , U - boat losses were so great that many crewmen never made it past the second war patrol . The other occasion when this badge was awarded was on completion of an especially successful first patrol or having been wounded or killed in action . In the event of death , the award was presented to the next of kin . Classes . The award was bestowed in two classes : U - Boat War Badge . The " U - boat War Badge " was given usually after two war patrols . Some of the very successful commanders were awarded the badge after only one patrol , like Rolf Thomsen onboard U - 1202 . U - boat War Badge with Diamonds . The " U - boat War Badge with Diamonds " was a special issue award given to U - boat commanders who had received the Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves . This award was not given based on certain merits and was not an official war decoration , but instead it was given as an additional token of regard to Oak Leaves recipients . It was usually presented after the Knight ' s Cross with Oak Leaves was awarded . It was instituted in 1941 and the badge was similar in design to the " U - boat War Badge " . Manufactured by the firm of Schwerin in Berlin , it was made of gilding silver and had nine small diamonds inlaid on the swastika with the medal . Approximately 30 were awarded with Admiral Karl Dönitz being one of the recipients . However , he uniquely wore a special version in which the wreath as well as the swastika was inlaid with diamonds . Dönitz also wore his WWI U - Boat War Badge alongside this badge on his uniform .

United States S - class submarine The United States ' S - class submarines , often simply called S - boats ( sometimes " Sugar " boats , after the then contemporary Navy phonetic alphabet for " S " ) , were the first class of submarines built to a United States Navy design . The United States Navy commissioned 51 S - Class submarines from 1920 to 1925 . The first S - boat , , was commissioned in 1918 and the last numerically , , in 1922 . The last of the class actually commissioned was in 1925 . The S class is subdivided into four groups of different designs : " S - 2 " was a prototype built by Lake , and was not repeated . S - 1 , S - 2 , and S - 3 were prototypes built to the same specification : S - 1 designed by Electric Boat ( Elco ) , S - 2 by Lake , and S - 3 by the Bureau of Construction and Repair ( later Bureau of Ships ) . The Lake boat was considered inferior . The Elco and BuC & R designs were put into production . The first S - boat , S - 1 , was launched on 26 September 1918 , by Bethlehem at Fore River , but not commissioned until 5 June 1920 . The S - boats were improvements over the O - and R - boats . They were substantially larger . Compared to the R - boats , Group I S - boats were longer , with more beam , more draft , and 60 % greater displacement . This allowed for greater range , larger engines and higher speed , and more torpedo reloads , though the number of forward torpedo tubes was still four . Seven of the Group II and all the Group IV boats had an additional stern tube . Group IV was also longer and had less draft . In 1923 , experimented with a seaplane ( an idea the Japanese would adopt ) . Service . These boats saw service in World War II in both the Atlantic and the Pacific . Smaller and slower than many of the submarines produced for war service , and lacking the range for Pacific Ocean patrols ( as well as being 20 years old ) , they were used in reconnaissance and supply roles , as well as for coastal defense , such as in the Alaska theater during the aftermath of the Battle of the Aleutian Islands . They were withdrawn in mid - 1943 as fleet submarine s became available , and were relegated to ASW training . Most of the surviving boats were scrapped in 1946 . In World War II , S - class boats did not use the newer Mark 14 torpedo , standard in fleet submarines , due to shorter torpedo tubes , relying on the World War I - vintage Mark 10 , instead . ( Due to production shortages , many fleet boats used Mark 10s , also . ) Since the Mark 14 suffered from a high failure rate early in the war , this was not necessarily a disadvantage . Some were transferred to other navies , such as the six transferred to the British Royal Navy . These were mostly used for training in anti - submarine warfare and removed from service by mid - 1944 . S - boat fates . All S - boats were scrapped after World War II except those listed below .
Moira ( military ) Moira ( , pronounced " míra " , plural ) is a Greek term for a military formation . Etymologically , it is derived from the roots * μερ - and * μορ - , which mean " to part " . " Moira " therefore means " a part , a division " , and is cognate with the similar term " meros " . In the Byzantine period , it was used to denote brigade or division - sized commands , while in the modern Greek military , it is used by some branches to designate battalion - sized units . Byzantine usage . In the late 6th to early 7th century , the Late Roman military system , which was still in use by the East Roman or Byzantine Empire , went through a process of martial transformations that culminated with the establishment of the new military - administrative theme system in the 680s . Every major division , called a " thema " ( Greek : θέμα ) , was further divided into " tourma i " while each " tourma " was divided into " moirai " or " droungoi " , which in turn were composed of several " banda " . Thus each " moira " or " droungos " was the analogue of a modern regiment or brigade , initially circa 1000 men strong ( and hence also referred to as a " chiliarch ia " ) , although on occasion it could rise to 3000 men , and Emperor Leo VI the Wise ( r . 886 – 912 ) is recorded as having established " droungoi " of only 400 men for the new smaller themes . Modern Greek usage . In the Hellenic Air Force , but also in the Aviation services of both Army and Navy , " moira " ( Greek : μοίρα , plural μοίρες ) is the term used for squadrons . Likewise , the Hellenic Navy uses the term for a squadron of ships . In the Hellenic Army in addition , the term is used to designate Artillery battalions and Special Operation Forces battalion - sized squadrons ( Raider and Paratrooper Squadrons ) .
