Eurybiades Eurybiades ( ) was the Spartan commander in charge of the Greek navy during the Second Persian invasion of Greece ( 480 - 479 BC ) . He was the son of Eurycleides , and was chosen as commander in 480 BC because the Peloponnesian city - states led by Sparta , worried about the growing power of Athens , did not want to serve under an Athenian despite the Athenians ' superior naval skill . Despite the enmity between the two , Eurybiades was assisted by the Athenian naval commander Themistocles . His first act as commander was to sail the fleet to Artemisium , north of Euboea , to meet the Persian fleet . When they arrived the Greeks found that the Persians were already there , and Eurybiades ordered a retreat , although the Euboeans begged him to stay . Instead , they bribed Themistocles to keep the fleet there , and Themistocles used some of his bribe to pay off Eurybiades ( at least according to Herodotus ) . The subsequent Battle of Artemisium was indecisive , and the Greeks removed their fleet to Salamis Island . Initially at Salamis , Eurybiades wanted to move the fleet to the Isthmus of Corinth , where the armies of the Hellenic League were building fortifications . Themistocles , the better naval tactition , saw the benefits of fighting at Salamis and wanted to force a naval battle there . Eurybiades was insistent , and Themistocles had to threaten to withdraw the Athenian fleet ( the largest contingent of the Greek forces ) in order to make Eurybiades stay . After Themistocles tricked Xerxes into separating his fleet by sending part around the island to blockade the Greek fleet in the Straits of Salamis , Eurybiades was forced to accept Salamis as the battlefield . The Battle of Salamis was a decisive victory for the Greeks . After the battle Eurybiades was opposed to chasing the Persian fleet , and also to sailing towards the Hellespont to destroy the bridge of ships that the Persian king Xerxes I had built there . He wanted Xerxes to be able to escape rather than have him remain in Greece where he would possibly renew the land war . Back in Sparta Eurybiades was rewarded with an olive wreath for his success at Salamis ; Themistocles was given a similar reward .

French ship Belle Poule Four ships of the French Navy have borne the name Belle Poule . Ships . The ships are : Name . The name " Belle Poule " derives from an incident in 1533 . Francis I was presented with the keys of Toulouse by Paule de Viguier , the baroness Fronteville . Paule was a young girl known for her beauty , and Francis nicknamed her " la belle Paule " . The name became altered over time to " belle poule " through the difference between French and Occitan pronunciation . The name was later adopted by a Gironde corsair for his vessel , giving rise to it as a ship name in the French navy . Another version of the story is that Francis called her " belle poule " , as a play on words .

Ciener Ultimate Over / Under The Ciener Ultimate Over / Under system is a modification of the Remington 870 shotgun by Johnathan Arthur Ciener . It is identical in purpose to the Knight ' s Armament Company Masterkey or the accessory weapon configuration of the Remington 870 MPS . The system consists of a Remington 870 12 gauge pump - action shotgun mounted on a M16 or M4 assault rifle in an underbarrel configuration , much like the M203 grenade launcher .
