Landing Platform Helicopter Landing Platform Helicopter ( LPH ) is the hull classification used by a number of the world ' s navies to designate a type of amphibious warfare ship designed primarily to operate as a launch and recovery platform for helicopters and other VTOL aircraft . As such they are considered a type of helicopter carrier . Under the NATO STANAG document for reporting vessels , LPH is a short form designator used for " Amphibious Assault Ship , Helicopter " defined as a " large helicopter carrier " for carry and deploying around 1 , 800 assault troops using its own aircraft but for which use of landing craft is " not a principal function " . For ships of this hull classification in the Royal Navy LPH is a direct acronym for " Landing Platform Helicopter " while the United States Navy referred to its vessels within this classification as " Amphibious Assault Ships . " Regardless of the terminology all vessels classified as an LPH possess essentially similar capabilities . The Royal Navy also used the term " Commando Carrier " which it applied to aircraft carriers converted to helicopter only operations . The RN now operates two vessels which it classifies as LPHs , and , following the British government ' s decision to withdraw its Harrier aircraft at the end of 2010 , the former light fleet carrier . The LPH classification was used by the United States Navy for the amphibious assault ship s of the " Iwo Jima " class and three converted " Essex " class aircraft carriers . No ships of this classification are currently in active service with the United States Navy having been replaced with multi - purpose ships classified under NATO naming conventions as Landing Helicopter Dock or Landing Helicopter Assault ships . Ships classified as LPH . Royal Navy . Royal Navy " Commando Carriers and " Amphibious Helicopter Carrier " s

Almain rivet An Almain rivet is a type of flexible plate armour created in Germany in about 1500 . It was designed to be manufactured easily whilst still affording considerable protection to the wearer . It consisted of a breastplate and backplate with laminated thigh - guards called tassets . Almain rivets were generally of fairly low quality , but they were cheap : a royal proclamation issued by Henry VIII in 1542 designated them at 7s 6d , which equated to one sixth of the cost of a suit of demi - lance armor . Almain rivets were frequently purchased " en masse " as munitions - grade armour to equip royal armies or personal retinues . Nomenclature . The term " rivet " derives from the " overlapping plates sliding on rivets " characteristic of this type of armour . " Almain " is the Early Modern English term for " German " , from the French " alemanique " , from the mediaeval Latin " alemanicus " , from " Alemanni " , an early Germanic tribe . The term was introduced in about 1530 and remained in use until about 1600 . Based on the term " almain - rivet " , the word rivet itself acquired a meaning of " armour " , attested ( rarely ) during the mid - 16th century .

Joel Skousen Joel M . Skousen is an American conservative political commentator , non - fiction Survivalist author , and retreat consultant who specializes in preparedness topics , particularly survival retreat and fallout shelter design and construction , as well as in what he calls " strategic relocation . " History . Skousen , born in San Diego and raised in Oregon , later served as a USMC fighter pilot during the Vietnam Era . During the 1980s Skousen was the Chairman of the Conservative National Committee . He was also the Executive Editor of Conservative Digest . Skousen is the founder and chief editor of " World Affairs Brief " , a weekly news - analysis service . He has offered in both North and Central America consultation regarding architectural and retreat design . Skousen has written several books . including " Essential Principles for the Conservation of Liberty " , " Strategic Relocation — North American Guide to Safe Places " , " The Secure Home " , " Survival Home Manual : Architectural Design , Construction , and Remodeling Of Self - Sufficient Residences and Retreats " , and " How to Implement a High Security Shelter in the Home " . He also published a booklet titled " 10 Packs for Survival " , which he has also posted to several web sites . Skousen designs and consults on hardened retreat homes , often including fallout shelter s with HEPA air filtration systems . In the book " Dancing at Armageddon : Survivalism and Chaos in Modern Times " by Richard G . Mitchell , Jr . , ( 2001 ) Skousen was quoted : " ' You never want to make a house look like an obvious fortress . Those who want in can always move up a bigger gun . There is no way you can design a home to withstand RPG ( Rocket - propelled grenade ) rockets and tanks . I design these homes so you virtually cannot tell inside or out that they are any different from a conventional home . ' " Because of its low population density and diverse economy , both Skousen and survivalist writer James Wesley Rawles recommend the Intermountain west region of the United States , as a preferred region for relocation and setting up survival retreats . In late 2007 , Skousen gained attention when he gave his support to Ron Paul rather than to fellow LDS church member Mitt Romney in the 2008 US presidential campaign , in a widely - circulated YouTube video clip . After John McCain became the Republican Party ' s presumptive nominee in early 2008 , Skousen also endorsed Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party : " As Ron Paul goes back to Congress to continue the fight there , I believe Chuck Baldwin is the person to continue the fight during this election cycle and beyond . " Personal life . Joel Skousen is the older brother of Mark Skousen and the younger brother of Royal Skousen . The three Skousen brothers are the nephews of conservative author and commentator Cleon Skousen . In March , 2013 Skousen walked away with just slight injuries from the crash of his Glasair kit plane , in a forced rough field landing , following a fuel system failure . The crash landing occurred near Spanish Fork , Utah , on the return leg of cross country flight to Las Vegas .
March of the Soviet Tankmen March of the Soviet Tankmen ( ) is a military march composed in 1939 by the Pokrass brothers with lyrics by Laskin . It was commonly used as a Soviet propaganda song in World War II . The origin of the song was the movie " Tractorists " ( 1939 ) .
Military satellite A military satellite is an artificial satellite used for a military purpose , often for gathering intelligence , as a communications satellite used for military purposes , or as a weapon . A satellite by itself is neither military nor civil . It is the kind of payload it carries that enables one to arrive at a decision regarding its military or civilian character . Nevertheless , even the above distinction is now blurred . For example , a civilian satellite can carry military transponders and vice versa . Civil commercial satellites are also known to carry out military tasks including enabling military communications and imagery . At the same time , military satellites like the NAVSTAR GPS have more civilian users than military users . In spite of the above possibilities , satellites which have purely military uses are known as military satellites . Military satellite industry . The demand for military satellite communications as of 2009 is estimated at 390 TPEs for C - , Ku - , and Ka - bands . Futron Corporation projects a 300 - unit increase through 2019 , or 5 . 6 percent growth rate per annum over ten years . The demand for military satellite communications in 2009 is estimated at 16 Gbit / s , it is expected to grow to 28Gbit / s in 2019 . The largest demand for military satellites is from the US . Demand from international security forces is growing as well , especially from NATO states and the Middle East . Military satellites are becoming more indispensable in theater of operations as well as " home country " use for training , data redistribution and backhaul . Use by the U . S . Armed Forces . The U . S . Armed Forces maintains international networks of satellites with ground stations located in various continents . Signal latency is a major concern in satellite communications , so geographic and meteorological factors play an important role in choosing teleports . Since some of the major military activities of the U . S . army is in foreign territories , the U . S . government needs to subcontract satellite services to foreign carriers headquartered in areas with favorable climate . Military Strategic and Tactical Relay , or MILSTAR , is a constellation of military satellites managed by the United States Air Force . There are currently five MILSTAR satellites deployed in geostationary orbit to provide wideband , narrowband and protected military communication systems . Wideband systems support high - bandwidth transfers . Protected systems offer more sophisticated security protection like antijam features and nuclear survivability , while narrowband systems are intended for basic communications services that do not require high bandwidth . elos world
