Deep Submergence insignia The Deep Submergence Insignia is a uniform breast pin worn by officers , men , and a few women ( a few women dated ( 1993 - 1997 ) before they changed the policy ) of the United States Navy ' s submarine service who are qualified in submarines and have completed one year of regular assignment to a Manned or Unmanned Deep Submersible . The badge was first approved on 6 April 1981 . Examples of eligible Deep Submersible Vessels include : The insignia is also authorized to a supporting deep submergence detachment . The Deep Submergence Insignia is issued in two grades , gold for officers and silver for enlisted personnel ( enlisted personnel may wear the gold pin if they have qualified officer watches ) . The pin shows the broadside of a " Trieste " in front of a vertical trident , flanked by heraldic dolphins . The badge is considered a " secondary insignia " and is normally worn on the left uniform pocket , beneath award ribbons and any primary warfare badges , such as the Submarine Warfare Insignia . Personnel eligible to wear other secondary insignias , such as the Submarine Combat Patrol Insignia or SSBN Deterrent Patrol Insignia , may only wear one insignia at a time according to their personal desire .
8 " / 55 caliber Mark 71 gun The U . S . Navy ' s Major Caliber Lightweight Gun ( MCLWG ) program was the 8 " / 55 caliber Mark 71 major caliber lightweight , single - barrel naval gun prototype ( spoken " eight - inch - fifty - five - caliber " ) that was mounted aboard the in 1975 to test the capability of destroyer - sized ships to provide shore bombardment support with the range previously available from decommissioned cruisers . United States naval gun terminology indicates the gun fired a projectile in diameter , and the barrel was 55 caliber s long ( barrel length is 8 " × 55 = 440 " or 11 . 165 meters . ) Origin . Gunfire support from cruisers and battleships had become an established part of United States amphibious warfare doctrine during World War II . As the last of the wartime cruiser s and battleship s were decommissioned , the 5 " / 54 caliber gun became the largest available for such assignments . The 5 " / 54 could fire a 70 - pound ( 32 - kg ) projectile approximately 15 miles ( 24 km ) in comparison to a range of 17 miles ( 27 km ) for 260 pound ( 118 kg ) projectiles from the 8 " / 55 caliber gun s of heavy cruisers . The impending loss of capability was anticipated by the Chief of Naval Operations ( CNO ) in 1969 . CNO established a requirement for a new gun capable of firing semi - active laser guided projectiles ( SAL GP ) . Development took place through 1971 and 1972 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division . Prototype . The 8 " / 55 Mark 71 gun was a single gun adaptation of the 8 " / 55 Mark 16 gun found in triple turrets on " Des Moines " class cruisers . The prototype gun mount weighed 86 tons and was approximately 20 percent heavier than the 5 " / 54 caliber Mark 42 gun it replaced . The prototype could fire ten to twelve rounds per minute from a 75 - round automatic ready service magazine for semi - fixed ammunition when operated by one man . A specially modified Mark 155 ballistic computer provided 8 " / 55 ballistics for " Hull " s Mark 68 gun fire control system . Termination . At - sea technical evaluation occurred aboard " Hull " in 1975 , and operational testing followed through 1976 . The Operational Test and Evaluation Force determined inaccuracy made the gun operationally unsuitable , and concluded the lightweight 8 " / 55 was no more effective than the 5 " / 54 ( with Rocket Assisted Projectile s ) . The report recommended against production or installation of the lightweight 8 " / 55 , and program funding was terminated in 1978 . SAL GP development continued .

Wandlebury Hill Wandlebury Hill ( ) is a hill in the Gog Magog Downs , a ridge of low chalk hills extending for several miles to the southeast of Cambridge , England . The underlying rock is present in a number of places on the hill . At 74 m / 243 ft it is the same height as the nearby Little Trees Hill , although the latter is a more notable landmark . The top stands in Wandlebury Country Park , a nature reserve owned by Cambridge Past Present and Future , formerly known as Cambridge Preservation Society . Wandlebury was already inhabited in the Bronze Age and 2500 years ago there was an Iron Age hill fort here known as Wandlebury Ring . This hill fort once had concentric ditches and earthen walls which were kept in place by wooden palisades . Although the fort has vanished , the ditch ( the Ring ) dug around the edge can clearly be seen and walked along , being 5 metres deep in places and offering an adventurous route along its edge . There is no evidence that it was ever used in defence . Wandlebury House , home of among others , Francis Godolphin , stood within the Ring . The house has been demolished but the monumental stable block remains , now used for accommodation and as headquarters office of Cambridge Past Present Future . The grave of the Godolphin Barb horse , which died in 1753 , can be seen under the archway . Maps and leaflets are available from the porch at all times and from a shed in car park on summer Sundays . The tail of a crashed World War II Wellington Bomber was visible wedged high in a beech tree within the estate , until it was dislodged by strong winds in the early 1990s . The reserve , mainly beech woodlands and fields , is an excellent place for birdwatching and is a beautiful place for an early morning stroll . Banyard bird hide , overlooking Varley ' s Field , was completed in February 2012 . Like Little Trees Hill , the summit is on public land and is accessible when sheep or Highland cattle are not in the field . Dogs must be on a lead everywhere in Wandlebury Country Park . It can be reached by walking across the field from post 3 of the nature trail . Virtually no climb is involved in the ascent , just a pleasant stroll through woodland .
Bernhard Krüger Bernhard Krüger ( ; 26 November 1904 – 1989 ) was a Schutzstaffel ( SS ) Sturmbannführer ( Major ) during World War II , the leader of the VI F 4a Unit in the " Reichssicherheitshauptamt " ( Reich Main Security Office ) or RSHA . This SD unit was responsible for , among other things , falsifying passports and documents . Within the setting of Operation Bernhard , the SD forged pound notes in great numbers , funding Nazi Germany with ₤600 million in high - quality counterfeit currency ( worth approx . $ 6 billion 2009 ) . This counterfeiting operation was named after Krüger , who led the operation from a segregated factory built at Sachsenhausen concentration camp , manned by 142 Jewish inmates . Krüger was a member of the NSDAP . The pound counterfeiting operation ended in 1944 . Not wanting to go to the Eastern Front , and mindful of the fate of the concentration camp prisoners in his employ if his factory were closed , Krüger succeeded in establishing a new operation to forge US $ . Instructing his workers to work as slowly as possible , he managed to stall the operation until the war ended , permitting the prisoners to be liberated after they were transferred to camps in Austria in May 1945 . One of the forgers , Adolf Burger survived the war and stated that " Major Krüger was in no way like Oskar Schindler . He was a murderer just like everyone else , six weeks before the war ended he had six people shot just because they were sick . He couldn ' t send them to hospital in case they said something about the operation , so he killed them . " After the war , Major Krüger was detained by the British for two years , then turned over to the French for a year . He said they asked him to forge documents but that he refused . He was released in 1948 without any charges being pressed , and returned to Germany . In the 1950s , he went before a denazification court , where inmates under his charge at Sachsenhausen provided statements that resulted in his acquittal . He eventually worked for the company that had produced the special paper for the Operation Bernhard forgeries . He died in 1989 .

Its members are subject to a rigorous and intense program of specialized instruction , after going through the classical training common to every foot soldier , and have special features like high technical and tactical knowledge , strength , perseverance and total availability . The fighting in mountains , due to peculiarities of the terrain , only admits of little effective action , which carry with them almost all the material they need to accomplish the mission and must therefore be resilient and determined . To better prepare them for the hardships of the environment in which they will operate , the training is divided into three stages : Foundation Stage Combatant Mountain , enabling them to handle the material escalation , perform marches in steep areas , evacuation of wounded and climbing rock walls , grade 4 ( difficult ) Basic Course in Mountaineering , lasting five weeks , for officers and sergeants with excellent physical preparation , concepts of communications , first aid , explosives and weapons , taught in four phases to free climb ( 1st phase ) , climbing rope ( 2nd phase ) , topography ( Stage 3 ) and operations ( Stage 4 ) and Advanced Course in Mountaineering , lasting ten weeks , forming the Mountain Guide , who will be able to perform scaled free until grade 4 , artificial climbing up to grade 6 ( very difficult ) and to guide effective in shifts in rocky regions . His equipment consists of a backpack which carries the pegs , hammer , carabiners and ropes . The helmet is similar to the model used by crew members of tanks . The camouflage uniform is the standard of the Brazilian Army , but reinforced seams and gray beret is specific to the unit . The basic weapon is the Para - FAL assault rifle , 7 . 62 mm , with folding stock , making driving and handling a fast and secure .

The New Zealand Squadron The New Zealand Squadron was the name given by the Royal Air Force to the men of the Royal New Zealand Air Force in the United Kingdom to train on the 30 Vickers Wellington Mk1C bombers the New Zealand Government ordered in 1938 to introduce the latest in aviation military technology to the Royal New Zealand Air Force . RNZAF aircrew were sent to the UK and others already there were posted to the group training on the new aircraft based at RAF Marham in Norfolk commencing on 1 June 1939 , with Sqn Ldr M . W . Buckley , MBE as Commanding Officer . The crews were to fly the aircraft to New Zealand in batches of six , to their new airbase , RNZAF Base Ohakea in the country ' s North Island , that was being built to receive them . RAF official records name this group of airman as " The New Zealand Squadron " , and shared RAF Marham with No . 38 and No . 115 Squadrons . They moved to RAF Harwell , and then to RAF Feltwell on 12 February 1940 . Those aircraft initially delivered and being used by the New Zealand crews had their RNZAF serial numbers painted under the wings , " NZ301 " to " NZ305 " . As a result of Britain delaring war against Germany , the New Zealand Government made the airman and the aircraft - that had so far been delivered and those still on the production line - available to the RAF to help with the new war effort . Also called or known as The New Zealand Flight , they completed several operations of their own across to various European destinations . The New Zealand airman were concerned that they would be split up and posted to existing RAF squadrons , however a decision by the Air Ministry to give them the defunct No . 75 Squadron numberplate on 4 April 1940 , meant that the nucleus of The New Zealand Squadron personnel remained together but under the command of the RAF as No . 75 ( NZ ) Squadron .
