Squadron vice - admiral Squadron vice - admiral is an Anglicisation of a naval rank found in some navies of the world . The squadron vice - admiral , which could also be accurately translated as fleet vice - admiral , leads a squadron and is typically senior to a vice - admiral and junior to an admiral . This anglicisation is not often used in practice , as the rank is usually kept in the original language or rendered as Vice - Admiral . The main navy to use the rank of squadron vice - admiral is the French Navy ( " vice - amiral d ' escadre " ) , where it is a four - star rank with a NATO code of OF - 8 , equivalent to corps general or lieutenant general in seniority . Officially , it is not a rank , but a style and position ( " rang et appelation " in French ) bestowed upon some vice - admiral ( which is the actual highest substantive rank and is a three - star rank with NATO code OF - 7 equivalent to rear admiral ( upper half ) or major general ) .

BUTEC The British Underwater Test and Evaluation Centre ( BUTEC ) is a range used to evaluate the sensors and aural emissions of British submarine s . It is operated on behalf of the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence by QinetiQ . During the 1970s the range was used to test torpedo es and other equipment designed for submarine operational use . BUTEC is located in Inner Sound between the northern east coast of the island of Raasay and the Applecross peninsula on the west coast of the Scottish mainland . The range consists of a noise range to the east of the isle of South Rona , and a torpedo testing range located in the centre of the Inner Sound between the isle of Raasay and Applecross on the mainland . The noise range is about a mile long and divided into blocks 50 yards wide ( labelled A to Z ) within which is a large array of sensors . A submarine is expected to move through the middle of the range ( blocks M or N ) repeatedly as the shore - based scientific team on Rona analyse the sound of the submarine . If the boat does not achieve its expected aural signature , it is not permitted to start active patrols . The Range Terminal Control Building ( including jetty and heliport ) are situated at the eastern edge of the range , adjacent to the Sand archaeological site , about 4 miles north of Applecross . Outlying installations for the noise range are located on the island of Rona . The main logistics and administrative centre is the Shore Support Base , at Kyle of Lochalsh . The torpedo testing range is covered by bylaws which ban any underwater activity by fishermen within the range area and trawling activities are also banned within the whole of the Inner Sound area . Upcoming range activities are published in the local newspaper West Highland Free Press . When firings are taking place , safety vessels are placed around the range area . Firings are done by submarines , helicopters , aircraft and boats . The torpedoes are equipped with acoustic tracking and measuring equipment in place of warheads . Other trials are carried out here including the use of sonars and exercises by Minehunters . There was controversy when a high - powered sonar device was tested on the range in 2002 , which had been blamed for the deaths of whales and dolphins and that had been banned in the USA .
Bucu Bucu or Buku is a hill island surrounded by the Trave and Wakenitz Rivers in Lübeck , Germany . It is also the name of a medieval Slavic castle , now ruined , on the island . Count Adolf II of Holstein founded Lübeck on the island in 1143 . The " Burgkloster " , or fortified monastery , of Lübeck is located atop the ruins of Bucu . " Bucu " is also the name of a hill . History . Fortifications probably existed at Bucu by the end of the 7th century or the beginning of the 8th century . When the Christian Obotrite prince Gottschalk was killed at Lenzen in 1066 , the pagan Kruto took control of Wagria and made it his base of power . Kruto neglected the developing settlement of Liubice and instead developed Bucu between the Trave and the Wakenitz ; Gottschalk ' s son Henry made Liubice the Obotrite capital after killing Kruto in 1093 , however . With the death of Henry in 1127 and the Rani sack of Liubice the following year , Bucu began to assume greater importance as merchants moved to the fortified hill . Count Adolf II of Holstein founded Lübeck in 1143 near the castle , which offered protection to the new harbour settlement . Excavation . Bucu was excavated by archaeologists in the 1970s . Recovery excavations at the Kleine Gröpelgrube unearthed a nearby settlement , the suburbium , in 1997 . The exposed findings indicate that the region east of the castle was inhabited by Slavs from the 8th or 9th century until the middle of the 12th century . In a southern section of the current Große Burgstraße , a 3 . 5 m wide and 2 . 5 m deep trench protected the settlement . The northern border was presumably north of the current Königstraße . To the west the settlement bordered the castle directly , while to the east it reached the Wakenitz . The settlement area was probably about 6 ha . Discoveries in the interior include mines , mining houses , hearths , and a great number of ceramic objects . The remnants of a potter ' s workshop were found in the Kleine Gröpelgrube . A Slavic pottery tradition could have existed at the location until the arrival of Saxons in the 12th century . The Kleine Gröpelgrube was first mentioned in 1297 as " parva platea lutifigulorum " , or the small street of the loam potters .
Sack of Rome ( 455 ) The sack of 455 was the second of three sacks of Rome ; it was conducted by the Vandals , who were then at war with the usurping Western Roman Emperor Petronius Maximus . In the 440s , the Vandal king Genseric and the Roman Emperor Valentinian III , had betrothed their children , Huneric and Eudocia , to strengthen their alliance , reached in 442 with a peace treaty ( the marriage was delayed as Eudocia was too young ) . In 455 Valentinian was killed , and Petronius Maximus rose to the throne . Petronius married Valentinian ' s widow , Licinia Eudoxia , and had his son Palladius marry Eudocia ; in this way Petronius was to strengthen his bond with the Theodosian dynasty . This move , however , damaged Genseric ' s ambitions . The king of the Vandals claimed that the broken betrothal between Huneric and Eudocia was an invalidation of his peace treaty with Valentinian , and set sail to attack Rome . Upon the Vandal arrival , according to the chronicler Prosper of Aquitaine , Pope Leo I requested that Genseric not destroy the ancient city nor murder its inhabitants . Genseric agreed and the gates of Rome were thrown open to him and his men . Maximus , who fled rather than fight the Vandal warlord , was killed by a Roman mob outside the city , possibly together with his son Palladius . It is accepted that Genseric looted great amounts of treasure from the city , damaging objects of cultural significance such as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus by stripping away the roof shingles made of gold and bronze ( hence the modern term vandalism ) , and also took Licinia Eudoxia and her daughters hostage . Eudocia later married Huneric . There is , however , some debate over the severity of the Vandal sack . The sack of 455 is generally seen as being more thorough than the Visigothic sack of 410 , because the Vandals plundered Rome for fourteen days whereas the Visigoths spent only three days in the city . The cause of most controversy , however , is the claim that the sack was relatively " clean " , in that there was little murder and violence , and the Vandals did not burn the buildings of the city . This interpretation seems to stem from Prosper ' s claim that Leo managed to persuade Genseric to refrain from violence . However , Victor of Vita records how many shiploads of captives arrived in Africa from Rome , with the purpose of being sold into slavery . Similarly , the Byzantine historian Procopius reports that at least one church was burnt down . This Sack of Rome is held by some historians to mark the " end of the Roman Empire " , if a single event can legitimately be held to mark the end of long , complex entity such as an ' empire ' or ' culture ' .

Breguet 16 The Breguet 16 was a bomber biplane produced in France toward the end of World War I . Design and development . Design of the Breguet 16 was essentially a scaled - up version of Breguet ' s highly successful 14 - a conventionally configured biplane with two - bay , unstaggered , equal - span wings . Trials in 1918 proved highly promising , and production in mass by several French manufacturers under licences from Breguet was planned for 1919 . These plans were discarded upon the Armistice , but more limited production was revived in the early 1920s as the French Air Force began a programme of modernisation . Operational history . In service , the single - engine Breguet 16 was used to replace obsolete twin - engine Farman F . 50 s in the night bomber role as the Bre . 16Bn . 2 .

7 Squadron SAAF 7 Squadron was a unit of the South African Air Force which served in the Second World War as well as in South Africa between 1951 and 1992 . During the war , the squadron was used as a fighter squadron deployed to the Western Desert as well as in the Aegean , Italy and Ceylon . The squadron was inactive from the end of the war until 1951 when it re - activated as a citizen force training squadron , a role it retained during two periods of active service until 1992 , when it was disbanded for the last time . History . 7 Squadron was formed as a South African Air Force unit on 12 January 1942 at Zwartkop Air Station equipped with Harvard and Mohawk aircraft . It was re - equipped with Hurricane Mk Is in April 1942 and was then moved to Egypt . By the time the war in Africa had been concluded , the squadron was equipped with Spitfire Mk Vs in July 1943 and was tasked with convoy escort and fighter - interception sorties . On 10 September 1943 six pilots and a DC - 3 Dakota with ground staff were ordered to Cyprus to set up an advanced base to provide air cover for the planned invasion of the Dodecanese Islands . It transpired that the initial intention was that the squadron , consisting of six Spitfire Mk Vs , was to be the total air cover contingent for the planned invasion . However , by 13 September the Squadron was joined by two more of the squadron ' s Spitfires all operating from the island of Kos . They were later joined by 74 Squadron RAF but by then the Luftwaffe attacks on Kos had severely damaged the primitive airfields and after intense aerial fighting , there was only one serviceable Spitfire left in the Squadron by 1 October . On 3 October German landings commenced and the grounded SAAF personnel were compelled to escape by whatever means possible - some crossed to Turkey in small boats and others were evacuated back to Egypt with the retreating allied ground forces . By the time of re - assembly in Egypt , the Squadron had lost six officers killed and 15 other ranks missing for the cost of 12 enemy aircraft having been shot down . The squadron remained in Egypt for a few months , and then in April 1944 , equipped with Spitfire Mk lXs , rejoined No . 7 Wing in Italy . After the surrender of German forces in Italy , the squadron was sent to the Far East , but the war in the East ended before the squadron could be deployed . It then returned to Ceylon and thereafter back to South Africa . It was disbanded on 10 September 1945 . The Squadron was reformed at Ysterplaat Air Station in August 1951 and was equipped with Harvards and was again disbanded in 1959 . It was re - formed once more at Youngsfield in the Cape on 1 August 1961 and later moved to Ysterplaat in 1969 . The squadron received Impala Mk Is in 1977 as a citizen force unit and was moved to Cape Town International Airport in 1978 . It was again moved to AFB Langebaanweg and to AFB Pietersburg . The squadron was disbanded in December 1992 .
