Bawi Bawi was a Sasanian military officer from the Ispahbudhan family who was involved in the Anastasian War and the Iberian War between the Sasanian and Byzantine Empire . He is also known as Aspebedes , which is a corruption of the title Spahbed . Biography . According Procopius , coins of Bawi were minted during the reign of Kavadh I ( r . 488 - 496 , 499 - 531 ) due to the marriage of the latter with his sister , and , therefore , he became the uncle of the future king Khosrau I ( r . 531 - 579 ) . Apparently he was the father of a person known as Asparapet , whose original name was Shapur , who was the grandfather of Shah Khosrau II ( r . 591 - 528 ) , the son of Shapur ' s daughter and Hormizd IV ( r . 579 - 590 ) ; beyond this relationship , it is known that Shapur was the father of Vistahm and Vinduyih . According to some sources , Bawi participated in the negotiations that led to the peace of 506 between Anastasius I ( r . 491 - 518 ) and Kavadh I , which ended the Anastasian War . After the Sasanian defeat at thee battle of Dara during the Iberian War , Kavadh I organized an invasion of Byzantine territory , in which a large army , commanded by Mihr - Mihroe , Chanaranges and Bawi , who invaded Mesopotamia and besieged the city of Martyropolis , which at that time was being protected by Buzes and Bessas . While commanding a large force , with winter approaching and Byzantine reinforcements coming from Amida and the sudden death of Kavadh I , the Sasanians lifted the siege in November or December . At the beginning of Khosrau I ' s reign in 531 , Bawi , along with other members of the Persian aristocracy became involved in a conspiracy in which they tried to overthrow Khosrau I and make Kavadh , the son of Kavadh I ’ s second eldest son Djamasp ( Zames ) the king of the Sasanian Empire . Upon learning the plot , Khosrau I executed all his brothers , their offsprings , along with Bawi and the other " Persian notables " who were involved . Khosrau I also ordered the execution of Kavadh , who was still a child , and was away from the court , being raised by Adergoudounbades . Khosrau sent orders to kill Kavadh , but Adergoudounbades disobeyed and brought him up in secret , until he was betrayed to the shah in 541 by his own son , Bahram ( Varranes ) . Khosrau had him executed , but Kavadh , or someone claiming to be him , managed to flee to the Byzantine Empire .
HMS Prince ( 1670 ) HMS " Prince " ( sometimes also referred to as " Royal Prince " ) was a 100 - gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy , built by Phineas Pett the Younger at Deptford Dockyard and launched in 1670 . A contemporary shipyard model ( today at the Science Museum London ) and a drawing by Willem van de Velde the Elder ( today in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam ) give a good impression how she looked . Especially her stern was extensively decorated with gilded carvings . During the Third Anglo - Dutch War she served as a flagship of the later king James II , then Duke of York and Lord High Admiral . During the Battle of Solebay ( 1672 ) she was in the centre of the English fleet that was attacked by the Dutch centre led by Admiral Michiel de Ruyter . The " Prince " was heavily damaged by De Ruyter ' s flagship " De Zeven Provinciën " in a two hours ' duel and Captain of the Fleet Sir John Cox was killed on board . The Duke of York was forced to shift his flag to HMS " St Michael " . The " Prince " ' s second captain , John Narborough , however conducted himself with such conspicuous valour that he won special approbation and was knighted shortly afterwards . HMS " Prince " was rebuilt by Robert Lee at Chatham Dockyard in 1692 , and renamed at the same time as HMS " Royal William " . During the War of the Grand Alliance the ship saw action at the Battle of Barfleur of 19 May 1692 . The " Prince " belonged to the red squadron and carried the flag of Rear Admiral of the Red Sir Cloudesley Shovell . She was the first ship to break the French line during the battle . Later she was rebuilt for a second time by John Naish at Portsmouth Dockyard from 1714 , relaunching on 3 September 1719 . She was laid up after her re - launch and saw no service at all until she was reduced to an 84 - gun Second rate ship in 1756 . One year later , she was part of an unsuccessful expedition against Rochefort led by Admiral Sir Edward Hawke . Her squadron , under Vice - Admiral Charles Knowles , attacked the Île - d ' Aix and forced her garrison to surrender . In 1758 she participated in Boscawen ' s and Wolfe ' s attack on the French Fortress of Louisbourg ( Nova Scotia ) and an indecisive skirmish with a French squadron . The following year the " Royal William " returned to Canada under the command of Captain Hugh Pigot to join the attack on Quebec . After the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the capture of Quebec she sailed back to England with the body of General Wolfe . In 1760 the " Royal William " was Boscawen ' s flagship when he took command of the fleet in Quiberon Bay . However , after a severe gale he was forced to return and shift his flag to the " Namur " . During the expedition against Belle Île of 1761 she was detached with several other ships to cruise off Brest and prevent a French counter - attack from there . The Seven Years ' War seems to be the last time that the " Royal William " played an active role . She was broken up in 1813 .
VRC - 40 Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 ( VRC - 40 ) , also known as the " Rawhides " , is a United States Navy fleet logistics support squadron based at Naval Air Station Norfolk . Commissioned in 1960 , it is only one of two active fleet logistics squadrons in the Navy . History .

Instead , it prepares five separate sea going detachments with a two - plane complement while maintaining a shore " Homeguard " to support local operational commitments . Based at remote forward logistics sites , the deployed detachments support multiple Carrier Strike Group s that operate in the Second , Fourth , Fifth , and Sixth Fleets aboard deployed aircraft carriers providing continuous fleet support . VRC - 40 supports the fleet from ships and bases as far north as Norway , down the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast , throughout the Caribbean , in Central and South America , and all over the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theaters . Recently , VRC - 40 played a vital role in support of combat missions during Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom and was selected as the Commander Naval Air Force Battle " E " winner for the 2010 calendar year . After flying the Grumman C - 1A Trader aircraft for over 26 years , VRC - 40 completed a transition to the C - 2A in 1986 , marking the end of the reciprocating engine era in Naval Aviation history . VRC - 40 ' s continuing mission is the efficient transportation of passengers , mail , and cargo to and from carriers at sea . While speed and efficiency are requisite to completion of the squadron ' s mission , safety is of paramount importance . Among VRC - 40 ' s many achievements and accomplishments , the " Rawhides " recently reached one of the highest honors in Aviation Safety by successfully completing 25 years of class " A " mishap free flying . Every year , VRC - 40 carries over three million pounds of mail and cargo and effects over 1 , 000 arrested landings . Astronauts Alan Shepard and Scott Carpenter , sports icons including Tiger Woods , Dale Earnhardt , Jr . , numerous Congressional and Cabinet members , business leaders , and entertainers such as Bruce Willis , Charlie Daniels , Jimmy Buffett , Halle Berry and Robin Williams have all flown with the " Rawhides " .

The Battle Honours Committees that have sat after the First World War , Second World War , and Korean War have determined the Honours to be granted ; the process is not a fast one and is the result of much research . Once granted , regiments may in turn determine which of the Battle Honours are to be " emblazoned " . This refers to the act of having the names of the Battle Honours added to the Regimental Colour ( or Guidon , in the case of cavalry and armoured regiments ) , as well as other regimental accoutrements such as drum shells and the Drum Major ' s cross belt . The number of Battle Honours granted to Canadian regiments have led to restrictions being placed on the number of " emblazoned " honours permitted . These are :
Brachyllas Brachyllas , son of Neon , was a Boeotian ally of the Macedonian king Antigonus Doson . Accordingly , when the latter took Sparta in 222 BC , he entrusted to Brachyllas the government of the city .
