Sexual orientation and the Australian Defence Force Australia allows homosexuals to serve openly ( since 1992 , see LGBT rights in Australia ) . The Commonwealth of Australia policies are to permit gay men and lesbians to serve openly . The Cabinet took advice from a special Caucus Committee chaired by Senator Terry Aulich .

Furthermore , available evidence suggests that policy changes associated with the lifting of the ban may have contributed to improvements in productivity and working environments for service members . Key findings include : The DEFGLIS ( Defence Force Gay and Lesbian Information Service ) is an unofficial organisation of Regular , Reserve and Civilian members of the Australian Defence Organisation ( ADO ) who are gay , lesbian , bisexual , intersex and transgender ( GLBIT ) and allies .

Aluf Aluf ( , lit . " champion " ) is the term used in the Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) for officers who in other countries would have the rank of general , air marshal , or admiral . In addition to the " aluf " rank itself , there are four other ranks which are derivatives of the word . Together , they constitute the five highest ranks in the IDF . Etymology . The term " aluf " is taken from the Bible , where it was a rank of nobility among the Edom ites . It comes from a Semitic root meaning " thousand " making an " " aluf " " the one who commands a thousand people . Rank order of " aluf " and its derivatives . The Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) is an integrated force , ranks are the same in all services . It has a slightly compacted rank structure ; for instance , the Chief of Staff ( " Ramatkal " ) is seemingly only equivalent to a lieutenant general ( NATO OF - 8 ) in other militaries . " Rav aluf " means ' arch - general ' , which would be equal to a field marshal or five star general in other armies and equivalent to OF - 10 . " Rav aluf " is usually translated as " lieutenant general " , although it is the most senior rank in the IDF . The rank is given only to the Chief of General Staff ( " Ramatkal " ) , so there can only be one active " rav aluf " under regular circumstances . However this could change in a time of war . During the Yom Kippur War in 1973 , retired " Rav Aluf " Haim Bar - Lev was called back into service , replacing Shmuel Gonen as the commander of the southern theater . Thus , along with chief of the general staff David Elazar ( who succeeded Bar - Lev in that position the previous year ) , there were two people in active service holding the rank of " rav aluf " simultaneously . Israel is essentially a land and air power , with the navy receiving less than five percent of the military budget . The three forces have the same ranks , although separate naval ranks were used for a short time in the 1950s ; an officer who would be a general , air marshal , or admiral elsewhere is an " aluf " in any of the Israeli forces . The non - Hebrew word " general " was also adopted into Hebrew ( גנרל ) , and is used to refer to the generals of foreign armies . It can also be used colloquially in reference to a senior Israeli officer , in a derogatory sense implying that the officer in question is over - officious , incompetent , or involved in internecine power struggles with other officers , sometimes referred to as the " war of the generals " ( ) , to the neglect of proper military duties . For example , in a speech made by the former Israeli Labor Party chairman Amir Peretz , he criticized two other party members who both hold the rank of ( retired ) " aluf " : former Vice - Chief of General Staff , " Aluf " Matan Vilnai and former Commander of the Israeli Navy , " Aluf " Ami Ayalon , referring to them ( and other former senior officers of the IDF ) as " the generals and admirals " :
Armadillo - class tanker The " Armadillo " class of tankers were those Type Z - ET1 - S - C3 Liberty tankers that were commissioned into the United States Navy . They were given the hull classification symbol s of unclassified miscellaneous vessel s . This group of " Liberty " based tankers all served in the United States Navy during the Second World War .

They brought aviation gasoline to remote islands in the south Pacific , required for the many reconnaissance missions .
Algol - class vehicle cargo ship The Algol class vehicle cargo ships , also known as Fast Sealift Ships ( FSS ) or SL - 7s , are currently the fastest cargo ships in the world , capable of speeds in excess of . Originally built in 1972 and 1973 as high - speed container ships known as SL - 7 ' s for Sea - Land Services , Inc . , the ships ' high operating costs limited their profitability . All eight ships were acquired by the US Navy in 1981 and 1982 , with the last ship converted , recommissioned and delivered to Military Sealift Command in 1986 . The conversion entailed the installation of four cranes , addition of roll on / roll off capability and a redesign of the cargo hold to better facilitate storage of vehicles . Due largely to their high cost of operation , all fast sealift ships are kept in Reduced Operating Status , but can be activated and ready to sail in 96 hours . All ships are named after bright stars in the night sky . Service . All eight ships took part in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm , delivering thirteen percent of all the cargo transported between the United States and Saudi Arabia during and after the Persian Gulf War . Fast sealift ships have taken part in Operations Restore Hope , Joint Guardian , Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in addition to humanitarian relief efforts across the globe . On 1 October 2007 , the United States Maritime Administration began operating all eight FSS . All eight were transferred to the Ready Reserve on 1 Oct . 2008 . At this time their USNS designations were replaced with SS designations as they were no longer US Navy Ships . Antares propulsion failure . Quote from Global Security :
