She was commissioned on 31 March 1942 . Service history . After World War II service in the U . S Navy , " SC - 500 " was selected for transfer to the Soviet Navy in Project Hula – a secret program for the transfer of U . S . Navy ships to the Soviet Navy at Cold Bay , Territory of Alaska , in anticipation of the Soviet Union joining the war against Japan .

Disposal . In February 1946 , the United States began negotiations for the return of ships loaned to the Soviet Union for use during World War II , and on 8 May 1947 , United States Secretary of the Navy James V . Forrestal informed the United States Department of State that the United States Department of the Navy wanted 480 of the 585 combatant ships it had transferred to the Soviet Union for World War II use returned . Deteroriating relations between the two countries as the Cold War broke out led to protracted negotiations over the ships , and by the mid - 1950s the U . S . Navy found it too expensive to bring home ships that had become worthless to it anyway . Many ex - American ships were merely administratively " returned " to the United States and instead sold for scrap in the Soviet Union , while others , at the suggestion of the Soviets , were destroyed off the Soviet coast under the observation of American naval authorities . In 1956 , " BO - 319 " was destroyed , probably off Nakhodka , under the latter arrangement .

He managed to exit his aircraft but his parachute initially failed to open as his drogue parachute lines had been cut about nine inches above where they joined the main parachute . His boots were ripped off his feet during the ensuing high - speed fall and he remembers quite clearly wondering whether his wife of 12 weeks , Bertha , would wonder whether he had wondered what it would feel like to " hit the deck " . The parachute eventually opened without the drogue and he landed in a farm in Elham Valley near Folkestone only to discover that he couldn ' t stand as he had been wounded in the leg : He continued to serve in the RAF , rising from the rank of Sergeant Pilot to Flight Lieutenant . Later life . Bill Green now resides in the Bristol , and is one of the remaining members of The Few .

Battle of Rullion Green The Battle of Rullion Green in the Pentland Hills , in Lothian , Scotland on 28 November 1666 was the culmination of the brief Pentland Rising ( 15 – 28 November 1666 ) . At least 3000 men of the Scottish Royal Army led by Tam Dalyell of the Binns opposed about 900 Covenanter rebels . The Pentland Rising was in the context of the long - running government campaign to impose episcopalianism upon Scotland . The uprising began in St . John ’ s Town of Dalry , where troops were beating an elderly man who had defaulted on a fine for not attending government - approved church services . The troops were interrupted by four covenanter s and then supported by the local populace , who disarmed the soldiers . Robert McClellan of Barscobe led the Rising ; he gathered some men in Dalry , led them to Balmaclellan , where after a skirmish with other troops , he raised more men . McClellan led them to Dumfries , and there they captured the local commander , General Turner , at 5 . 30 in the morning , still in his nightshirt , in his lodgings on the Whitesands . McClellan , aided by Neilson of Corsock , took the gathering force up to Ayrshire , thence to Lanarkshire , and then to Colinton near Edinburgh , on their way to present their petition to the Parliament . Many deserted the group following bad weather , a poor choice of routes and the news received at Colinton that they could not expect a sympathetic reception in Edinburgh . From a peak of perhaps 3000 men the force had diminished by half at Colinton , and then further dispersed as the group headed home towards Galloway . The rebels included experienced professional soldiers as well as citizenry , and were commanded by Colonel James Wallace of Auchens . The rebel forces decided to hold a parade and review by Colonel Wallace at Rullion Green in the Pentland Hills . General Tam Dalyell of the Binns was with a force in Currie , and cut through the Pentland Hills to confront the rebels . The survivors were treated with cruelty ; 15 , including Neilson of Corsock , were hanged , drawn and quartered , and several , including two boys of 18 , were tortured first with the boot . The battlefield is currently under research to be inventoried and protected by Historic Scotland under the Scottish Historical Environment Policy of 2009 .
