Etna ) , she was the only U . S . Naval vessel to bear the name . On 14 August 1944 ( before her construction began ) , " LST - 1118 " was reclassified a landing craft repair ship ( ARL - 28 ) . The ship was named " Typhon " on 11 September 1944 and her keel was laid down on 17 October 1944 at Seneca , Illinois by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company ; sponsored by Mrs . F . E .

" Typhon " proceeded down the Illinois Waterway and the Mississippi River and reached New Orleans on 20 January . She then moved to Mobile , Alabama to repair her propeller blades which she had damaged soon after leaving Seneca . When again ready for sea , " Typhon " proceeded via Panama City , Florida to Baltimore , Maryland where she arrived on 13 February . Three days later , she was decommissioned there for completion as a landing craft repair ship . While the conversion was in progress , the ship ' s officers and men underwent special training at Camp Bradford , Virginia with additional instruction in amphibious warfare at Little Creek , Virginia . On 18 June 1945 " Typhon " was recommissioned with Lieutenant Thomas S . Moulton , USNR , in command . Ten days later , she got underway for Hampton Roads to conduct her shakedown training in the Norfolk area . After post - shakedown inspections , the ship departed Norfolk on 22 July ; picked up a load of pontoons at Davisville , Rhode Island ; and headed , via the Panama Canal , for the west coast . En route , the repair ship received word that Japan had surrendered , ending the war in the Pacific . Putting into San Diego on 18 August , she unloaded her pontoons and , 10 days later , got underway for the Hawaiian Islands , arriving at Pearl Harbor on 7 September . After two months there , she headed westward and proceeded , via the Marianas , to Japan . Anchoring off Yokosuka on 16 November , she remained in Japanese waters until early 1946 when she made a brief run back to the Marianas . Returning to Japan with supplies , the repair ship reached Nagasaki on 13 February and remained there until late March , when " Typhon " headed for China , arriving at Shanghai on 30 March .

USS Greyhound ( 1822 ) The first USS " Greyhound " was a U . S . Navy , two masted schooner which displaced 65 tons , was armed with three guns , and was in commission from 1822 to 1824 . " Greyhound " was one of several ships the U . S . Navy purchased in 1822 to augment Commodore David Porter s ( 1780 - 1843 ) " Mosquito Fleet " combating piracy in the West Indies . With Master Commandant John Porter in command , she joined the West Indies Squadron in early 1823 and almost immediately was dispatched to Puerto Rico to seek Puerto Rican aid in suppressing the pirates . Returning from this mission , " Greyhound " was placed under the command of Lieutenant Lawrence Kearny ( 1789 - 1868 ) and sent to patrol the coast of Cuba . While patrolling with the schooner on 21 July 1823 , " Greyhound " gave chase to an unidentified ship off the Cuban coast near Vera Cruz ; the ship turned out to be a legitimate Colombian privateer , a rare thing in those waters . Lieutenant Kearny then decided to go ashore in search of game to supplant his ship ' s food supply . His boat , when it neared the shore , was attacked from ambush and forced to return to " Greyhound " . When another attempt to land on 22 July 1823 met the same reception , Lieutenant Kearny sent ashore a party of United States Marines and U . S . Navy sailor s under the command of Lieutenant David Glasgow Farragut ( 1801 - 1870 ) , to attack the pirate camp . Meanwhile " Greyhound " and " Beagle " closed the shore and began to bombard the camp , effectively trapping the pirates between the landing party and the sea . After a brief but fierce struggle , the pirates , including some women and children , fled inland . Exploring the village , Farragut and his men discovered several large caves filled with rich plunder of all sorts . They burned the village and the eight small boats they found in the harbor , then returned to " Greyhound " and " Beagle " . " Greyhound " continued her coastal patrol duties until , with the onset of the yellow fever season later in 1823 , the " Mosquito Fleet " sailed north for healthier weather . Greyhound did not return to the Caribbean with Porter in the spring of 1824 . Found unfit for further service , she was sold at Baltimore , Maryland , in 1824 .

Gregory Taronites Gregory Taronites ( ) was an Armenian prince of Taron , who went over to Byzantine service and held senior commands and governorships under Emperor Basil II . He was killed by the Bulgarians at the Battle of Thessalonica in the early 990s . Life . Gregory was a son of Ashot III , prince of the region of Taron in southern Armenia . At Ashot ' s death in 968 , Gregory and his brother , Bagrat ( Pankratios in Greek ) ceded Taron to the Byzantine Empire in exchange for extensive lands inside the Empire and the title of " patrikios " . The two brothers became involved in the Byzantine civil wars between Emperor Basil II ( r . 976 – 1025 ) and the mighty military aristocracy of Asia Minor , led by Bardas Phokas the Younger and Bardas Skleros ; they initially supported the latter , but soon switched over to the Emperor ' s side . In 988 / 9 , according to the historian Yahya of Antioch , Gregory , by now a " magistros " , was sent to recruit an army at Trebizond and lead it against Bardas Skleros ' core territory around the Euphrates border . He was defeated " en route " by Skleros ' allies , the Iberians under David of Tao . Following the suppression of the magnates ' revolts , Basil II turned his attention to the Balkans , where Samuel of Bulgaria was menacing the Byzantine territories . In 991 he campaigned in Macedonia and captured the fortress of Berroia , before returning to Constantinople . The emperor left Gregory Taronites in charge of the Balkan army and tasked him with stopping Samuel ' s raids . Taronites was named " doux " and made Thessalonica his seat . It is unclear whether in this context the title of " doux " implies simply a military command over the troops entrusted to him by the emperor , or , as it is usually interpreted , whether it includes the governorship of the theme of Thessalonica as well , which was previously held by a " strategos " . Some time after his appointment , Gregory Taronites was killed by the Bulgarians in an ambush . A raiding party had approached Thessalonica , and Gregory sent out his son , Ashot , with the vanguard to make contact with them and reconnoitre . The over - eager Ashot engaged the Bulgarians and drove them back , but was drawn into a prepared ambush and encircled with his men . His father , following up with the main Byzantine force , rushed to his rescue , but was killed . The exact date of this event is unknown . The chronology of the account of John Skylitzes seems to place it in 996 , while Armenian sources place it in 991 . Modern research holds that it must have happened at the latest in mid - 995 , as John Chaldos is attested as " doux " of Thessalonica later in the same year . Family . Along with his brother , Gregory was the founder of the noble Taronites family , which remained prominent in Byzantium until the end of the 12th century . Gregory ' s son Ashot was captured by the Bulgarians , but ended up marrying Samuel ' s daughter Miroslava and becoming governor of Dyrrhachium , which he soon surrendered back to the Byzantines . Gregory had at least another child , a daughter Irene , who was wed to a member of another branch of the Taron line , Romanos Taronites .

Afterwards , General Ján Golian served as Viest ' s deputy . Despite fierce fighting , the outnumbered and surrounded insurrectionist army could not resist well - equipped German forces . When Viest and Golian ordered their remaining units to start a guerrilla war on October 27 , 1944 , they did not know that it would be the last order they issued . Both Generals were captured by German special forces on November 3 , 1944 in Pohronský Bukovec .

Expeditionary maneuver warfare Expeditionary maneuver warfare ( EMW ) is the current concept that guides how the United States Marine Corps organizes , deploys and employs its forces . Utilizing maneuver warfare and the Marine Corps ' expeditionary heritage , EMW emphasizes strategically agile and tactically flexible Marine Air Ground Task Force s with the capability to project power against critical points in the littoral s and beyond . EMW was designed to fit the United States Navy ' s " Sea Basing " concept as outlined in the ' Sea Power 21 " vision . This concept has influenced Marine Corps equipment procurement in recent years , leading to the purchase of the MV - 22 Osprey , Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle , F - 35 Lightning II and the M777 Lightweight Howitzer . Two areas of current concern are not overburdening the maneuver force with too much supplies ( or worse , having them run out ) and timely medical evacuation .
