Charsianon Charsianon ( ) was the name of a Byzantine fortress and the corresponding theme ( a military - civilian province ) in the region of Cappadocia in central Anatolia ( modern Turkey ) . It center was firstly in Charsianon ( Its ruins are found in Muşalimkalesi village of Akdağmadeni district in Yozgat Province ) , laterly Caesarea Cappadociae . History . The fortress of Charsianon ( Greek : Χαρσιανόν κάστρον , " Charsianon kastron " ; Arabic : " Qal ' e - i Ḥarsanōs " ) is first mentioned in 638 , during the first wave of the Muslim conquests , and was allegedly named after a general of Justinian I named Charsios . The Arabs first seized it in 730 , and it remained a hotly contested stronghold during the next century of Byzantine – Arab warfare . In the early 9th century , the fortress became the center of a " kleisoura " , a separately administered fortified frontier district . Sometime between 863 and 873 , it was raised to the status of a full theme , augmented by territory from the neighboring Bucellarian , Armeniac and Cappadocian themes . It ranked in the middle tier of themes , with its governing " strategos " receiving an annual salary of 20 pounds of gold and commanding , according to Arab sources , 4 , 000 men and four fortresses . In the 10th century , the theme of Charsianon became a major stronghold of the landed military aristocracy , with the great clans of Argyros and Maleinos having their homes and estates there . After 1045 , a large number of Armenians , including the former king Gagik II ( r . 1042 – 1045 ) , were settled there , leading to friction with the local Greeks . The theme was lost to the Seljuk Turks following the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 and given to Danishmendids . Gagik II is attested as the last " doux " of Charsianon in 1072 – 1073 .
Russian submarine Kazan ( Yasen class ) Kazan is a Russian nuclear attack submarine of the . It is the second boat of the project ; as from the first it is separated by 16 years ( 1993 - 2009 ) considerable changes are made to its design . Building history . The submarine project has been developed in the " Malachite " design office in Saint Petersburg . The Russian navy has declared that the submarine will be improved in comparison with " Severodvinsk " , the first of the Yasen - class submarines . According to " Moscow Defense Brief " editor Mikhail Barabanov , the Yasen class will not enter serial production , so " Kazan " appears to be a more affordable replacement . Differences in the project have appeared sufficient to consider it as a new updated version ( Yasen - M " " ) . Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky stated that work on a second Yasen - class submarine had been started on 24 July 2009 .
Claud Jones - class destroyer escort The " Claud Jones " class destroyer escort s were four ships built for the US Navy in the late 1950s . These ships were a Diesel version of the earlier Dealey class and were designed with the aim of producing a cheaper ship suitable for rapid production in wartime . These ships also had reduced armament and speed compared to their predecessors . They were not seen as effective anti submarine vessels and were sold after only 15 years service . Hull Numbers . A total of four ships of the " Claud Jones " class were built . All were decommissioned in 1973 - 1974 and sold onto the Indonesian Navy . All ships were built by Avondale .
Ula - class submarine The " Ula " class is a Norwegian submarine type which was assembled in Germany in the late 1980s and early 1990s . The class , consisting of six vessels , is currently the only submarine type in service with the Royal Norwegian Navy . History . The ordering of a new Norwegian submersible design stemmed from a 1972 decision to modernize the Royal Norwegian Navy ( RNoN ) submarine flotilla , which then consisted of the aging " Kobben " class submarines . The construction of the vessels was an international project . The combat systems were made in Norway by Kongsberg , the attack sonar is German and the flank sonars French . The hull sections were produced in Norway and assembled in Germany by Thyssen Nordseewerke , Emden . In Germany , the design is known as the " U - Boot - Klasse 210 " . When commissioned , " Ula " s were the first Norwegian submarines to have enough bunks for the entire crew and a shower . The " Ula " class submarines are among the most silent and maneuverable submarines in the world . This , in combination with their relatively small size , makes them difficult to detect from surface vessels and ideal for operations in coastal areas . The " Ula " class submarines are regarded as both the most effective and cost - effective weapons in the RNoN . Missions . In recent years , several submarines of the " Ula " class have been deployed in the Mediterranean Sea in support of the NATO Operation Active Endeavour , where their intelligence - gathering ability surpassed expectations . Their operational availability proved to be highest of all ships taking part in the operation . This mission highlighted a need for better temperature regulation for crew comfort in warm waters . As a result , HNoMS " Ula " was " tropicalized " by the installation of new cooling systems , and two more of the class designated for " tropicalization " . Future submarine capability . During 2006 - 2008 the " Ula " class was slated for modernisation . Most notably , new communication equipment ( Link 11 ) , new electronic warfare support measures and a periscope upgrade . In May 2008 , a contract for new sonars was signed , with the first submarine to have new sonar 21 months after that , and the last 52 months later ( mil . no article ) . The " Ula " class will probably be kept in service until 2020 . In 2014 the MoD will decide on a replacement submarine project , to commence 2020 or thereabouts . Vessels . Six submarines were delivered ( 1989 – 1992 ) to the RNoN . All are based at Haakonsvern in Bergen . The boats are all named after places in Norway , with the exception of S305 , " Uredd " ( " Unafraid " in English ) , in honor of the WWII submarine HNoMS Uredd ( P - 41 ) . The ship prefix for RNoN vessels is KNM ( " Kongelig Norsk Marine " , Royal Norwegian Navy ) , in English HNoMS ( His Norwegian Majesty ' s Ship ) .
Battlecruiser Squadron ( United Kingdom ) The Battlecruiser Squadron was a Royal Navy squadron of battlecruisers that saw service from 1919 to the early part of the Second World War . Formation . During the First World War , the Royal Navy had initially maintained three squadrons of battlecruisers , until losses at the Battle of Jutland had reduced the number of available battlecruisers sufficiently to warrant a reduction to two squadrons . Following the War , battlecruiser numbers were again reduced to three , with a fourth building . In late 1919 , the Battlecruiser Squadron was formed , consisting of HMS " Tiger " , flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Roger B . Keyes , KCB , KCVO , CMG , along with and HMS " Repulse " . HMS " Tiger " was removed from operational service with the commissioning of in May 1920 , and relegated to a training role . HMS " Hood " then became the flagship of the Battlecruiser Squadron on 18 May 1920 . Special Service Squadron . In 1923 , HMS " Hood " and HMS " Repulse " , along with several smaller ships of the First Light Cruiser Squadron , formed part of the Special Service Squadron , under command of Vice - Admiral Sir Frederick Field . The Squadron departed Devonport on 27 November 1923 and returned on 29 September 1924 after travelling around the world . Inter - War Period . HMS " Hood " was decommissioned for a major overhaul from May 1929 to May 1931 . During this period , HMS " Tiger " was returned to active service , to maintain the three ship strength of the squadron . Following her recomissioning , " Hood " again became flagship of the squadron , and remained the flagship until her loss on 24 May 1941 . HMS " Tiger " was decommissioned on 30 March 1931 and scrapped shortly after . Dissolution . HMS " Hood " was lost in combat with the German battleship " Bismarck " at the Battle of Denmark Strait on 24 May 1941 . HMS " Repulse " was sunk by Japanese aircraft off Singapore on 10 December 1941 . With the loss of the " Hood " and later the " Repulse " , the squadron ceased to exist .

Their mission was part of the larger one for the 28th Marines , which was to assault across the island cutting it in two and then assault Mount Suribachi . On D - Day + 1 , in a cold rain , 2 / 28 prepared to assault the mountain . The battalion ' s commanding officer , Lieutenant Colonel Chandler Johnson , set the tone for the morning as he deployed his tired troops forward : " It ' s going to be a hell of a day in a hell of a place to fight the damned war ! " Early on the morning of February 23 , 1945 , four days after the initial landings , Captain Dave E . Severance , the commander of Company E , 2 / 28 , ordered Lieutenant Harold G . Schrier to take a patrol and an American flag to the top of Suribachi . Staff Sergeant Louis R . Lowery , a " Leatherneck Magazine " photographer , accompanied the patrol .

Coup d ' œil Coup d ' œil ( or coup d ' oeil ; ) is a term taken from French , that more or less corresponds to the words " glimpse " or " glance " in English . The literal meaning is " stroke of [ the ] eye " . It is mostly used ( in English ) in a military context , where the coup d ' œil refers to the ability to discern at one glance the tactical ( dis ) advantages of the terrain . For example , the famous king Frederick the Great of Prussia in his 1753 " Particular Instructions " devotes special attention to the military coup d ' œil , defining it as : " [ T ] he perfection of that art to learn at one just and determined view the benefits and disadvantages of a country where posts are to be placed and how to act upon the annoyance of the enemy . This is , in a word , the true meaning of a " coup d ' œil " , without which an officer may commit errors of the greatest consequence . " The phrase popularly comes from Clausewitz : When all is said and done , it really is the commander ' s " coup d ' œil " , his ability to see things simply , to identify the whole business of war completely with himself , that is the essence of good generalship . Only if the mind works in this comprehensive fashion can it achieve the freedom it needs to dominate events and not be dominated by them . Napoleon remarked upon it : There is a gift of being able to see at a glance the possibilities offered by the terrain . . . One can call it the " coup d ' œil militaire " and it is inborn in great generals . As did Folard and Liddell Hart : The " coup d ' œil " is a gift of God and cannot be acquired ; but if professional knowledge does not perfect it , one can only see things imperfectly and in a fog , which is not enough in these matters where it is important to have a clear eye . . . To look over a battlefield , to take in at the first instance the advantages and disadvantages is the great quality of a general . A vital faculty of generalship is the power of grasping " instantly " the picture of the ground and the situation , of relating one to the other , and the local to the general . The coup d ' œil remains important for officers in modern armies for the positioning of infantry , tanks , artillery etc . It is also important for snipers and when operating weapons like anti - tank weapons , in order to find good concealment , cover and a good field of fire . In current - day French , the phrase simply means " glimpse . " For example , it is often used in marketing materials in the same way that " At a glance . . . " is used in English to title a product summary .
