EADS HC - 144 Ocean Sentry The EADS HC - 144 Ocean Sentry is a medium - ranged , twin - engined aircraft used by the United States Coast Guard in the search - and - rescue and maritime patrol missions . Procured as the " Medium Range Surveillance Aircraft " , the HC - 144 is manufactured by EADS North America and is based on Airbus Military ' s ( formerly EADS CASA ) CN - 235 transport . Design and Development . Intended to replace the Dassault HU - 25 Guardian jet , the HC - 144A Ocean Sentry is part of the Coast Guard ' s Integrated Deepwater System Program of recapitalization and new - asset acquisition . Based on the CN - 235 - 300 MP Persuader , the maritime patrol version of the CN - 235 military transport , the HC - 144 offers a longer endurance than the HU - 25 it is replacing in U . S . Coast Guard service , as well as better performance in the low - level observation role . The HC - 144A has an eight - hour endurance , which makes it suited for the command and control and search and rescue roles . Its rear ramp provides for transport of standard cargo pallets . It also features short take - off and landing capability . Systems . The HC - 144A uses electronic systems on the Mission System Pallet roll - on , roll - off electronics suite from Lockheed Martin , that connects to the aircraft ' s systems upon installation . The HC - 144A ' s equipment is similar to the Coast Guard ' s HC - 130 aircraft , which reduces maintenance and training costs . Operational History . The first HC - 144 was delivered to the U . S . Coast Guard in December 2006 . Initial Operational Capability ( IOC ) was achieved in April 2009 ; thirteen Ocean Sentry aircraft were operational with the Coast Guard in January 2011 . A total of 36 aircraft are planned to be procured , with twelve Mission System Pallets being swapped between the operational aircraft . The HC - 144A has been involved in several missions during its career to date , including involvement in the Marquis Cooper search - and - rescue mission , the response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake , environmental missions monitoring the Deepwater Horizon oil spill , and transporting endangered marine animals for rehabilitation . The 15th HC - 144 was delivered in June 2013 , with three more scheduled for delivery through 2014 . The Coast Guard is considering supplementing the HC - 144 with former Air Force C - 27J Spartan aircraft . Budget strains have caused the service to reconsider acquiring a 36 - plane fleet . Cancelling the remaining 18 to be manufactured and replacing them with up to 14 decommissioned C - 27Js would save between $ 500 – $ 800 million . Converting the Spartans to search - and - rescue aircraft would be faster and cheaper than funding and delivery of the full order . EADS has responded by saying the HC - 144 is half as expensive to maintain and operate compared to the C - 27J in terms of direct maintenance and fuel costs , calling into question the idea as a cost - saving measure .
Greek government - in - exile The Greek Government in Exile was the official government of Greece , headed by King George II , which evacuated from Athens in April 1941 , after the German invasion of the country , first to the island of Crete and then to Cairo in Egypt . Hence it is also referred to as the " Cairo Government " ( ) . It remained there until the German occupying forces withdrew from the country on 17 October 1944 . Closely controlled by the British , it was the internationally recognized Greek government , although its authority inside the country itself was minimal . There , alongside the Axis - controlled collaborationist governments , a vigorous Resistance movement developed , spearheaded by the communist - controlled EAM / ELAS , which established a " de facto " separate administration , formalized in March 1944 after elections in both occupied and liberated territories , as the Political Committee of National Liberation ( PEEA ) . History . On 25 April 1941 , with the onset of the Battle of Greece , King George II and his government left the Greek mainland for Crete , which was attacked by Nazi forces on 20 May 1941 . The Germans employed parachute forces in a massive airborne invasion and attacked the three main airfields of the island . After seven days of fighting and tough resistance , Allied commanders decided that the cause was hopeless and ordered a withdrawal from Sfakia . During the night of May 24 , George II and his government were evacuated from Crete to Cairo . The government remained in Egypt until the withdrawal of German forces from Greece on October 17 , 1944 .

Tupolev ANT - 41 The Tupolev ANT - 41 was a prototype Soviet twin - engined torpedo - bomber of the 1930s . A single prototype was built , which was destroyed in a crash . No production followed , with the Ilyushin DB - 3 serving as a torpedo bomber instead . Design and development . In March 1934 , the Tupolev design bureau ( OKB ) began work on a multi - role aircraft for Soviet Naval Aviation , intended to serve as a high - speed , long - range torpedo bomber , reconnaissance aircraft and " cruiser " ( i . e . long - range heavy fighter ) , and available in both landplane and floatplane versions . The task of designing the new aircraft , given the OKB designation ANT - 41 and the Navy designation T - 1 ( " Torpedonosets " – i . e . torpedo carrier ) was assigned to the team led by Vladimir Myasishchev . The ANT - 41 was of similar layout to the contemporary SB bomber , which had been designed by another team ( led by Alexander Arkhangelsky ) at the Tupolev OKB , but was larger and more powerful . Like the SB , it was a mid - winged cantilever monoplane of all - metal stressed skin construction . It was powered by two Mikulin AM - 34 liquid - cooled V12 engines in close - fitting cowlings driving 3 - bladed propellers and cooled by radiators mounted inside the wings inboard of the engines , which were fed by narrow ducts on the leading edge of the wing . A long ( 6 . 5 m ( 21 ft 4 in ) ) weapons bay under the fuselage could hold two torpedoes , or a single torpedo or an equivalent weight in bombs . The undercarriage of the landplane version was a retractable tailwheel undercarriage , based on that of the SB but strengthened to deal with the ANT - 41 ' s greater weight . History . The first prototype ANT - 41 , a landplane , made its maiden flight from Khodynka Aerodrome , Moscow on 2 June 1936 , with severe tail flutter encountered . It was destroyed in a crash during the 14th test flight on 3 July 1936 , with the test crew escaping by parachute . The accident was caused by flutter causing wing failure , which was traced to inadequate aileron design . Later that year , the Ilyushin DB - 3 was chosen to meet Soviet Naval Aviation ' s requirements for a torpedo bomber , and the ANT - 41 was cancelled , with the second prototype unbuilt .
