Cavalry Reserve Regiments ( United Kingdom ) Seventeen Cavalry Reserve Regiments were formed by the British Army on the outbreak of the Great War in August , 1914 . These were affiliated with one or more active cavalry regiments , their purpose being to train replacement drafts for the active regiments . In 1915 , the 3rd ( i . e . training ) Regiments of the Yeomanry were also affiliated with the Cavalry Reserve and , in September 1916 , the Household Cavalry Reserve Regiment was formed in Windsor , supplying replacements to the dismounted Household Battalion . In 1917 , the regiments underwent major reorganization , being reduced to ten in number . Although nominally cavalry , many of the drafts ended up being converted into infantry in order to satisfy the manpower demands of trench warfare . Despite being training and not combat formations , several were involved in the putting down of the Easter Rising in Dublin in April 1916 . A little after noon on Easter Monday , a mixed troop of 9th and 12th Lancers , attached to the 6th Cavalry Reserve Regiment at Marlborough Barracks in Phoenix Park , was dispatched to investigate a " disturbance " at Dublin Castle . As they cantered down Sackville Street , they were fired upon by rebels who had taken up positions in and on the roof of the General Post Office . Three troopers were killed instantly and one was mortally wounded , becoming the first military casualties of the rising . The same evening , 1600 men of the 3rd Reserve Cavalry Brigade ( consisting of the 8th , 9th and 10th Cavalry Reserve Regiments ) arrived from their barracks at the Curragh to support the local Dublin garrison .
List of hull classifications The list of hull classifications comprises an alphabetical list of the hull classification symbol s used by the United States Navy to identify the type of a ship . The combination of symbol and hull number identify a modern Navy ship uniquely . A heavily modified or repurposed ship may receive a new symbol , and either retain the hull number or receive a new one . Also , the system of symbols has changed a number of times since it was introduced in 1907 , so ships ' symbols sometimes change without anything being done to the physical ship . Many of the symbols listed here are not presently in use . The Naval Vessel Register maintains an online database of U . S . Navy ships . The 1975 ship reclassification of cruisers , frigates , and ocean escorts brought U . S . Navy classifications into line with other nations ' classifications , and eliminated the perceived " cruiser gap " with the Soviet Navy . If a ship ' s hull classification symbol has " T - " preceding it , that symbolizes that it is a ship of the Military Sealift Command , with a primarily civilian crew .

2 . 25 - Inch Sub - Caliber Aircraft Rocket The 2 . 25 - Inch Sub - Caliber Aircraft Rocket , or SCAR , was an American unguided rocket developed by the United States Navy during World War II . Capable of simulating the aerial rockets then coming into operational service , the SCAR was used to train pilots in the use of the new type of weapon , and continued in service throughout the 1950s . Development . With the introduction of the 3 . 5 - Inch and 5 - Inch Forward Firing Aircraft Rocket s , a need arose to train aircraft pilots in the proper tactics for the use of the new weapons . This requirement resulted in the development of a dedicated training rocket by the U . S . Navy . Designated 2 . 25 - Inch Sub - Caliber Aircraft Rocket , the resulting rocket was a joint project between the Bureau of Ordnance and the National Defense Research Committee . As its name implied , the rocket was designed as a sub - calibre weapon compared to the FFAR , being only in diameter , but weighted to be ballistically similar to the larger operational weapons . Varying the amount of propellant in the SCAR ' s motor could produce accurate simulations of either type of FFAR ' s flight characteristics . Operational history . Following development , SCAR entered full - scale production in January 1945 ; by July , fully half of the U . S . Navy ' s rocket production for aircraft use consisted of SCAR rockets . SCAR was widely used during the latter part of World War II as a training round for the FFAR and , later , the High Velocity Aircraft Rocket . Following the end of the war , it remained in production , continuing in operational service throughout the 1950s . Budget cutbacks prior to the outbreak of the Korean War meant that the SCAR was the only rocket used in training by the majority of pilots . Despite its small size , SCAR could be hazardous ; in 1957 , an injury aboard the aircraft carrier was caused by the unintended ignition of a SCAR rocket . As recently as 2004 , expended SCAR rockets were still occasionally being found in areas that had been used as bombing range s during World War II .
