Wilton Castle Wilton Castle is a 12th - century Norman castle fortification located in southeastern Herefordshire , England on the River Wye adjacent to the town of Ross - on - Wye . The castle is named for the manor associated with it . This forgotten castle of Herefordshire , still standing mostly to battlement height , remains a monument to its former lords . The Longchamps of Wilton in their time provided Bailiffs of Normandy , Chancellors of England , sheriffs of Hereford and the Welsh Marches and enemies of King John . They were succeeded by the families of De Cantilupe ( see Thomas de Cantilupe and links ) and De Grey who between them built up a powerbase in Wales and the Marches . Matilda de Grey , née de Cantilupe , stood up in court in 1292 and lied through her teeth to King Edward I of England that the castle had been built by her Longchamp ancestors in the days of Edward the Confessor ( 1042 – 66 ) . In fact , the castle could not have been built before 1154 and certainly the ' barony ' never held the Marcher Lord rights Lady Matilda claimed for it . The castle was primarily associated with a branch of the Norman - descended family of Grey , the Barons Grey of Wilton , a prominent dynasty of Norman Marcher Lords in the Welsh Marches , who held it from 1308 or before . The castle passed from the family when William Grey was captured by the French at the end of the defense of Guînes in 1557 , and was forced to sell the castle to raise funds for his ransom . The castle was finally destroyed in the English Civil War , a period that saw skirmishes and sieges locally at Goodrich Castle , Ruardyn Castle and Raglan Castle .

In 1948 , the base was formally named Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and was home to the Recruit Training Regiment . 2d Recruit training Battalion is one of the three Battalions under the Regiment , whose main mission is to train new United States Marine Corps recruits , specifically males recruited from west of the Mississippi River , but also from some areas east of the river , such as Wisconsin , Michigan , the Chicago metropolitan area and New Orleans . Recruit training includes a thirteen week process during which the recruit becomes cut off from the civilian world and must adapt to a Marine Corps lifestyle . During training , drill instructors train recruits in a wide variety of subjects including weapons training , Marine Corps Martial Arts Program , personal hygiene and cleanliness , close order drill , and Marine Corps history . The training emphasizes physical fitness , and recruits must attain a minimum standard of fitness to graduate by passing a Physical Fitness Test . Recruits must also meet minimum combat - oriented swimming qualifications , qualify in rifle marksmanship with the M16A4 service rifle , and pass a 54 - hour simulated combat exercise known as " The Crucible " . Unlike training at Parris Island , recruits must leave the depot to conduct field training . Three weeks of the recruit ’ s training is spent at Edson Range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton , where recruits fire on the rifle range , conduct field training , and undergo the Crucible . At the conclusion , recruits return to MCRD San Diego for graduation .

Coastal minesweeper Coastal minesweeper is a term used by the United States Navy to indicate a minesweeper intended for coastal use as opposed to participating in fleet operations at sea . Because of its small size — usually less than 100 feet in length — and construction — wood as opposed to steel — and slow speed — usually about 9 or 10 knots — the coastal minesweeper was considered too fragile and slow to operate on the high seas with the fleet . Minesweeping , in conjunction with fleet activities , was usually relegated to the diesel - driven steel - hulled AM - type minesweepers , later to be replaced by the wood - hulled MSO - type minesweeper with aluminum engines .

Gate guardian A gate guardian or gate guard is a withdrawn piece of equipment , often an aircraft , armoured vehicle , artillery piece or locomotive , mounted on a plinth and used as a static display near to and forming a symbolic display of " guarding " the main entrance to somewhere , especially a military base . Commonly , gate guardians outside airbase s are decommissioned examples of aircraft that were once based there , or still are . The visual effect is very much like a hobbyist ' s model , particularly when it is an aircraft mounted on a pole to simulate what it looked like in flight . In Australia , gate guards are also often found outside Returned and Services League of Australia ( RSL ) clubs . Examples . Examples of gate guardians include the following : Until March 2007 , a 40 % scale replica of Concorde had been located at the main road entrance to Heathrow Airport , when it was moved to Brooklands Museum , Surrey . It has been replaced by a model of an Airbus A380 in Emirates livery .
