USNS Wyman ( T - AGS - 34 ) USNS " Wyman " ( T - AGS - 34 ) was an oceanographic survey vessel laid down on 18 July 1968 by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company of Bay City , Michigan . Launched on 30 October 1969 , sponsored by Mrs . Francis J . Blouin , wife of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations , Vice Admiral F . J . Blouin ; she was accepted by the Military Sealift Command ( MSC ) on 19 November 1971 at the Boston Naval Shipyard . J . H . Blythe was the ship ' s first civil service master . " Wyman " , designed and built to conduct hydrographic and oceanographic studies and operated by a civilian crew , served with MSC under the technical direction of the Oceanographer of the Navy . Initially assigned to MSC Atlantic , " Wyman " was transferred to MSC Pacific on 16 November 1974 for a brief tour of duty that lasted into the summer of 1975 . She was returned to MSC Atlantic at Port Canaveral , Florida , on 21 August 1975 and remained active with that fleet into 1979 . The ship ' s original echo sounding equipment and Hydrographic Dataa Acquisition System ( HYDAS ) was replaced in the mid 1970s by a new narrow beam swath system . The swath array , replacing the single beam system , was the Bottom Topography Survey Subsystem ( BOTOSS ) and the processing system , replacing HYDAS , was the Bathymetric Survey System ( BASS ) . The initial BOTOSS hull mounting was subject to air bubble interference so that a new arrangement on a fairing and foil mounted on the keel was required to house the array elements during a 1974 - 1975 period in a West Coast yard . " Wyman " was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 3 May 1999 , and transferred to the Maritime Administration ( MARAD ) for disposal . Currently laid up at the National Defense Reserve Fleet ( NDRF ) at Suisun Bay , CA .

Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Naples , Italy The Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Naples ( NCTS Naples ) provides secure , reliable and timely voice , video and data services to the U . S . Navy joint , allied and coalition customers . It has two manned sites : C4I at Capodichino and SATCOM at Lago Patria . NCTS Naples has approximately 20 Officers , 325 Enlisted personnel , and 40 civilians . NCTS Naples History . 1963 to 1968 . In 1963 Naval Communication Unit was established on the Joint Force Command Naples ( AFSOUTH ) post in Bagnoli . Most of the unit ' s resources came from the communications department of Naval Support Activity , Naples . In May 1968 its mission was expanded to include fleet support for units in the Mediterranean Sea and the command was renamed Naval Communications Station , Italy ( NAVCOMMSTA ) . 1974 to 1976 . In July 1974 the continuing expansion was marked by the installation of the Naval Communication Processing and Routing System ( NAVCOMPARS ) and sophisticated satellite systems . On April 1 , 1976 , NAVCOMMSTA was redesignated as Naval Communication Area Master Station , Mediterranean ( NAVCAMS MED ) and became one of four in the world . With the name change NAVCAMS MED received an expanded mission , including oversight of all tactical naval communication systems and circuitry within the Mediterranean communications area . 1990s to Present . In October 1991 NAVCAMS MED was tasked with providing computer support and services to local commands with the expanded mission it became Naval Computer Telecommunications Area Master Station , Mediterranean ( NCTAMS MED ) . NCTAMS also began to provide operational direction to NAVCOMSTA Sicily and NAVCOMMU London . In October 1993 , NAVCOMSTA Spain was placed under the operational direction of NCTAMS MED becoming NCTAMS MED Detachment Rota Spain . NCTAMS MED began consolidation efforts in the Naples area by moving to the new state - of - the - art Command , Control , Communications , Computers , and Intelligence ( C4I ) facility located in the Capt John E Myers Building at Capodichino , the move was completed in 10 months . Following the completion of this move NCTAMS assumed responsibility of Indian Ocean communications services . With this new operational responsibility came a new title NCTAMS EURCENT reflecting the European and Central ( Indian Ocean and Southwest Asia ) area of operation . October 6 , 2005 NCTAMS EURCENT as apart of Navy - wide consolidation was designated Naval Computer Telecommunications Station , Naples ( NAVCOMTELSTA NAPLES IT ) . Today NCTS Naples is vital part of US and Joint communications providing services to several local commands including United States Sixth Fleet , United States Naval Forces Europe and many other non - local commands . NCTS will become TNOSC ( Theatre Network Operations Service Center ) responsible for network management and directly providing Internet Protocol services through OCONUS Navy Enterprise - Network ( ONE - NET ) .

Earl Haig Memorial The Earl Haig Memorial is a bronze equestrian statue of the British Western Front commander Douglas Haig , 1st Earl Haig on Whitehall in Westminster . It was created by the sculptor Alfred Frank Hardiman and commissioned by Parliament in 1928 . Eight years in the making , it aroused considerable controversy , the Field Marshal ' s riding position , his uniform , the anatomy and stance of the horse all drawing harsh criticism . The inscription on the statue base reads ' Field Marshal Earl Haig Commander - in - Chief of the British Armies in France 1915 - 1918 ' . History . Hardiman had won the commission in competition with his fellow sculptors Gilbert Ledward and William Macmillan . His winning model showed Haig riding a classical charger befitting a hero , derived from Hardiman ' s studies of renaissance equestrian sculpture . The Press and Lady Haig weighed in , asking why Earl Haig could not be portrayed with realism riding his own horse , Poperinghe . Eventually Hardiman was asked to produce a second model , but in trying to accommodate his critics the sculptor produced a compromise that pleased no - one . The design went back to Cabinet and they were persuaded to allow him a free hand in the execution of the full - sized statue , George Lansbury writing : " I feel confident that if your genius is unfettered you will give us a memorial worthy of the Field Marshal , the nation and yourself " . The memorial was unveiled by Prince Henry , Duke of Gloucester on 10 November 1937 , with King George VI laying a wreath at the base on Armistice Day .

Catalan Campaign in Asia Minor In 1303 , the Byzantine Emperor Andronicus II Palaeologus hired 6 , 500 Catalan mercenaries under Roger de Flor to campaign against the Turks in the spring and summer of the same year . Their costly service came with success , driving back the Turks in parts of Asia Minor . At Philadelphia , 20 , 000 Turkish soldiers ( possibly those of Aydinids ) were left dead , the work of the Catalans . The campaign was Byzantium ' s few decisive victories in a poorly - managed war . However , the Byzantines got more than what they bargained for ; the mercenaries were difficult to restrain and consequently much of the reconquered territory was laid to waste . When their leader Roger de Flor was assassinated in Gallipoli on 3 April 1305 by Michael IX Palaeologus followed by a massacre of 1 , 300 Catalans , the mercenaries began a two - year pillage in revenge and crossed over to Thrace and Macedonia under the command of their new leader , Berenguer d ' Entança , where further raiding occurred . As a result of this brutality , the Company got excommunicated by Pope Clement V . Eventually the Catalan mercenaries claimed the Duchy of Athens for themselves in 1311 and would remain there until 1379 , leaving behind a devastated Byzantium . After this , the Turks found much support amongst those who suffered and reoccupied land that had been lost . Thus , the Catalans ' campaign was a short - term Byzantine victory , but benefited the Turks in the long term . Strength of forces . Initially the Catalan Company arrived in Constantinople in 1303 with 39 ships and 6 , 500 men , which consisted of 1 , 500 horsemen , 4 , 000 Almogavars and 1 , 000 footsoldiers , most of whom were Catalans , Valencians or Aragonese . and later they were joined by 300 horsemen and Berenguer d ' Entrança . After the murder of Roger de Flor the Byzantines killed so many of the Company that only 3 , 307 men remained . These numbers were further reduced to 206 horseman and 1 , 256 after an encounter with Genoese forces , according to Muntaner . Before leaving Gallipoli the company was joined by a Turkish force consisting of 800 horseman and 2 , 000 footsoldiers . Ramon Muntaner who was a Catalan soldier and chronicler , wrote that during a battle in 1304 the Company fought against nearly 30 , 000 Turks ( 10 , 000 cavalry and 20 , 000 infantry ) of which 18 , 000 ( 6 , 000 cavalry and 12 , 000 infantry ) supposedly lay dead .
