Center of gravity ( military ) The center of gravity ( CoG ) is a concept developed by Carl Von Clausewitz , a Prussia n military theorist , in his work " On War " . United States Department of Defense . The definition of a CoG is " the source of power that provides moral or physical strength , freedom of action , or will to act . " Thus , the center of gravity is usually seen as the " source of strength " . United States Army . The United States Army tends to look for a single center of gravity , normally in the principal capability that stands in the way of the accomplishment of its own mission . In short , the army considers a " friendly " CoG as that element — a characteristic , capability , or locality — that enables one ' s own or allied forces to accomplish their objectives . Conversely , an opponent ' s CoG is that element that prevents friendly forces from accomplishing their objectives . For example , according to US Army Counterinsurgency Field Manual 3 - 24 , the center of gravity in a counterinsurgency is the protection of the population that hosts it .
Russian submarine Knyaz Vladimir The " Knyaz Vladimir " ( Russian : АПЛ " Knyaz Vladimir " - Prince Vladimir , previously expected - " Svyatitel Nikolai " ) is Russian ballistic missile submarine , lead ship of the fifth generation Project 955A " Borei II " class ( sometimes marked as Project 955U ) based on fourth generation Project 955 " Borei " class submarines . The project was developed by the Rubin Design Bureau , and the chief designer was Sergey Kovalev . The keel was expected to have been laid down sometime in 2010 but this was delayed until July 2012 because of a price dispute between the Russian MOD and the United Shipbuilding Corporation . The submarine will have several modifications from the previous submarines . This modification will include major structural changes and the installation of 4 more ( 20 total ) launch tubes , and probably other changes . If these reports are true , technically the fourth ship will be the lead ship of a new " Borei II " class ( not official ) .

The SS - Kriegsberichter - Kompanie ( SS War Reporter Company ) originated in January 1940 with an original formation of four platoon s of war correspondents and their support staff . The platoons were able to operate independently of each other , each equipped with still and movie camera s to enable to units to visually document the actions of Waffen - SS men in combat . The company came under the command of ex - Allgemeine SS Standartenführer Günter d ' Alquen . Upon his transfer to the Waffen - SS , d ' Alquen was given the rank of " Waffen - SS Hauptsturmführer der Reserve " . d ' Alquen would command the unit throughout its existence , ending the war as an " Waffen - SS Standartenführer der Reserve " .

The platoons remained attached to the SS combat units during the campaigns in the Balkans , taking many famous photographs , including that of SS - Standartenführer Kurt Meyer at the battle for the Kleisoura Pass . By August 1941 , the number of Waffen - SS formations had increased , and so the SS - Kreigsberichter - Kompanie increased in size as well , becoming the SS - Kreigsberichter - Abteilung . As an Abteilung , the unit had several more war - correspondent units attached to it , enabling it to cover the actions of all the Waffen - SS formations in the field . As the number of SS combat - formations increased , so did the number of correspondents required . In December 1943 , the unit reached regimental size and received the name SS - Standarte " Kurt Eggers " . The honorary title " Kurt Eggers " referred to the SS war - correspondent and editor of the SS magazine " Das Schwarze Korps " who had been killed earlier in the year , while reporting on the " Wiking ' s " battles near Kharkov . Many foreign volunteers became " Kurt Eggers " photographers , movie cameramen , writers , broadcasters and recorders , and most were multilingual . Several formations within the Standarte were formed to gather information for occupied or allied countries , and these sub - units were generally staffed by volunteers of the relevant nationality . At least two U . S . citizens , several British and a New Zealander served with the Standarte in the course of World War II .

On November 13 , firing occurred throughout most of the day , but the Confederates did not assault the Union lines . The Union forces , short on everything from ammunition to rations , withdrew from Bull ' s Gap toward Russellville late in the evening . Breckinridge pursued the Federals on November 14 and engaged them near Russellville , causing a rout . The Federals fell back to Strawberry Plains ( outside of Knoxville ) where Breckinridge again engaged his forces . Federal reinforcements soon arrived and foul weather began to play havoc with the roads and streams . Breckinridge , with most of his force , retired back to Virginia . The Confederate victory at Battle of Bull ' s Gap was a setback in the Federal plans to rid East Tennessee of Confederate military presence .

Silent running ( submarine ) Silent running is a stealth mode of operation for naval submarines . The aim is to evade discovery by passive sonar by eliminating superfluous noise : nonessential systems are shut down , the crew is urged to rest and refrain from making any unnecessary sound , and speed is greatly reduced to minimize propeller noise . The propellers have a characteristic RPM band in which no cavitation noise arises . Since this rotation speed is usually relatively low , the first electric submarines had special " silent running " engines designed for optimum performance at reduced speed . These required less active cooling ( further reducing noise ) , and were generally equipped with " slip - bearings " rather than ball - bearings . These engines were also acoustically decoupled from the hull , as they employed belt transmission rather than direct coupling to the propeller shaft . Nuclear submarines can run even more quietly , at very low speeds only , by turning off active reactor cooling during silent running . The reactor is then only cooled by natural convection of the water .
