Phrygian helmet The Phrygian helmet , also known as the Thracian helmet , was a type of helmet that originated in Classical Greece and was widely used in Thrace , Dacia , Magna Graecia and the Hellenistic world until well into the Roman Empire . Characteristics . The names given to this type of helmet are derived from its shape , in particular the high and forward inclined apex , in which it resembles the caps ( usually of leather ) habitually worn by Phrygian and Thracian peoples . Like other types of Greek helmet , the vast majority of Phyrgian helmets were made of bronze . The skull of the helmet was usually raised from a single sheet of bronze , though the forward - pointing apex was sometimes made separately and riveted to the skull . The skull was often drawn out into a peak at the front , this shaded the wearer ' s eyes and offered protection to the upper part of the face from downward blows . The face was further protected by large cheekpieces , made separately from the skullpiece . Sometimes these cheekpieces were so large that they met in the centre leaving a gap for the nose and eyes . When constructed in this manner they would have embossed and engraved decoration to mimic a beard and moustache . Use . The Phrygian helmet was worn by Macedonian cavalry in King Philip ' s day but his son Alexander is said to have preferred the open - faced Boeotian helmet for his cavalry , as recommended by Xenophon . The royal burial in the Vergina Tomb contained a helmet which was a variation on the Phrygian type , exceptionally made of iron , this would support its use by cavalry . The Phrygian helmet is prominently worn in representations of the infantry of Alexander the Great ' s army , such on the contemporary Alexander sarcophagus The Phrygian helmet was in prominent use at the end of the Classical Era and into the Hellenistic period , replacing the earlier ' Corinthian ' type from the 5th century BC .

Repairable component In military logistics , a repairable component is a hardware component of a weapons system that can be designated for repair . Repairable components tend to be more expensive than non - repairable components ( consumable s ) . This is because for items that are inexpensive to procure , it is often more cost - effective not to maintain ( repair ) them . Repair costs can be expensive , including costs for the labor for the removal the broken or worn out part ( described as unserviceable ) , cost of replacement with a working ( serviceable ) from inventory , and also the cost of the actual repair , including possible shipping costs to a repair vendor . At maintenance facilities , such as might be found at Main Operating Base s , inventory is controlled by site personnel . Maintenance personnel will formally " turn - in " unserviceable items for repair , receiving a funding credit in the process . These " turn - ins " will be fixed , reconditioned , or replaced . Maintenance personnel can also be issued repaired or new items back from inventory . These processes are assisted by automated logistics management systems . In the Navy / Marine Corps supply system repairable items are identified with certain two character cognizance symbols ( COGs ) and one character Material Control Codes ( MCCs ) . In United States Marine Corps Aviation , repairables are managed by the Repairables Management Division of the Aviation Supply Department . In the United States Air Force , repairables can be identified by their ERRC designation or SMR code .

MS Rigel Ship history . The " Rigel " ( 3 , 828 tons ) and " Korsnes " were originally steamers owned by the Bergen Steamship Company . The " Rigel " was named after the brightest star in the Orion constellation . The ships had been requisitioned by the German occupation authorities in Norway in 1940 to transport Allied prisoners of war , German deserters and Norwegians arrested by the German police . Sinking . In November 1944 , the two vessels , escorted by two German naval vessels , were attacked by Fairey Barracuda dive - bombers from the aircraft carrier , which was taking part in " Operation Provident " . The location of the attack was between the islands of Rosøya and Tjøtta south of the port of Sandnessjøen in Nordland county . After the bombing raid the German captain on board " Rigel " grounded her on the island of Rosøya , which probably saved the lives of the 267 survivors . The official number of casualties is 2 , 572 , mostly Soviet ( numbering 2 , 248 ) , Polish and Serbian prisoners of war ; seven Norwegians also perished . There has been speculation whether this number of people killed is too high or too low , estimates varying from 2 , 000 up to 4 , 500 . The British Government said at the time that they had mistakenly believed the vessels to be carrying German troops . Survivors , as recently as in a 2005 documentary , claimed the British aircraft killed several of the prisoners by firing on them in the lifeboats . Memorial . The wreck remained half - sunk until 1969 , when it was demolished and the remains of the dead buried in the war cemetery on the island of Tjøtta . The cemetery was consecrated in 1970 , in memory of those killed on the " Rigel " . All the graves are anonymous , but a memorial stone in the form of a cross has been erected on the site . Also in 1970 , a song ( " Riegal " ) based on the story of the " Rigel " was released by the American psychedelic folk group Pearls Before Swine on their album " The Use of Ashes " .
