She served exclusively against the Arctic Convoys from Britain to Murmansk and Archangelsk , principally targeting the Soviet forces which greeted the convoys in the Barents Sea . The boat was built in Flensburg in 1942 and 1943 , " U - 365 " was a Type VIIC U - boat , with five torpedo tubes and a deck gun for smaller targets . She was captained by Kptlt . Heimar Wedemeyer , an efficient if slightly cautious officer , who worked his boat and crew up before being dispatched to the 9th Flotilla based at Bergen , Norway , from which she conducted her first three patrols . War patrols . " U - 365 " ' s early operations were in support of clandestine operations in the North Sea and Arctic Ocean , in the course of which she saw no action against Allied shipping or positions . Not until her fifth patrol , following a shift in patrol zones to the frozen seas around Novaya Zemlya and transfer to the 13th U - boat Flotilla , that " U - 365 " experienced success . In this region , on the 12 August , the boat spotted a small Soviet convoy and in rapid order sank a 5 , 000 - ton freighter and the two 600 - ton minesweepers intended to protect it . However , due to the remoteness of the " U - 365 " ' s patrol zones , the cautiousness of her commander and the efficiency of Allied submarine defences by the autumn of 1944 , Wedemeyer was unable to score another victory for his boat in the next two patrols , and was eventually replaced by Kptlt . Diether Todenhagen , who had previously served on the enormously successful , and had a reputation as an aggressive submariner . This seemed deserved as on his first patrol , on the 6 December , he sank the tiny Soviet patrol ship " BO - 2 " in the Barents Sea . This was followed five days later with a determined attack on an Allied convoy in which the British destroyer was seriously damaged . However in orchestrating the attack the U - boat ' s position was revealed , and just two days later two Fairey Swordfish aircraft from 813 Squadron flying from the escort carrier spotted the submarine and sank her near the Lofoten Islands with bombs . All 50 of the U - boat ' s crew perished in the wreck .

Action of 28 September 1644 The Action of 28 September 1644 refers to a battle that took place on 28 September 1644 about from Rhodes , when six Maltese galleys under Boisbaudran defeated an Ottoman convoy of sailing ships . The battle . The Maltese " San Lorenzo " , " Santa Maria " and " Vittoria " overhauled and attacked a Turkish galleon , while " San Giuseppe " and " San Giovanni " captured a smaller sailing ship and the " capitana " chased a vessel which turned out to be Greek , before returning to fight the galleon . After 7 hours , she was captured , with 220 of the 600 or more on board dead . Boisbaudran was killed , and the senior captain , Cotoner , of the " San Lorenzo " , took over command . Maltese casualties were 82 killed and 170 wounded , apart from their rowers . On the voyage home , there were several storms , and eventually the galleon was abandoned near Malta , and ended up wrecked on the Calabrian coast . Repercussions . The Turkish convoy had been heading from Constantinople to Alexandria , and carried a number of pilgrims bound for Mecca , the exiled former Chief Black Eunuch , Sünbül Aga , as well as a woman , originally considered by her captors to be one of the wives of the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I , and her young son , who was therefore thought to be an heir to the Ottoman throne . This was eventually disputed , and many historians believe that she was a wife and / or a slave of Sünbül Aga and a former nurse of Mehmet IV . Some history books say that her name was Zafira , and that her son , named Osman , was born on January 2 , 1642 - almost three months earlier than Mehmet IV ( making Osman the eldest son of Ibrahim I and the true heir to the throne ) . Citizens of Manfredonia , Italy , believe that she was in fact a sultana – originally a girl by the name of Giacometta Beccarino , who was kidnapped from Manfredonia by Turks in 1620 . ( This practice was quite common among Ottoman rulers of the era ; for example , the mother , the grandmother , the great - grandmother , and the first three wives of Ibrahim I were all of non - Turkish origin and were all sold to the harem s of their respective husbands as slaves . However , unlike Giacometta Beccarino , they were typically sold to the harem at the age of 12 to 16 and would give birth to their first child by 17 . ) On the voyage home , the Maltese vessel carrying the loot stopped at Crete , then a Venetian dominion , where it took on board supplies and unloaded part of the treasure there . The Ottomans , already enraged at the loss of the ships , considered this act a breach of Venetian neutrality , and soon declared war on the Republic . The capture of " Sultan ' s wife and son " was widely publicized throughout Europe . Sünbül Aga was killed in the battle , and the woman reportedly died of stress or fright during the battle or soon thereafter ( some sources give her date of death as January 6 , 1646 ) . The boy was raised on Malta for several years and eventually sent to a monastery , where he became known as " Father Ottoman " or " Padre Ottomano " .

Siege of Coron The Siege of Coron in 1532 - 1534 involved the siege and capture of the Ottoman - held fortress of Koroni ( Coron ) in Messenia , Greece , by the forces of the Habsburg Empire , and its subsequent recapture by the Ottomans . Coron had been a possession of Venice since 1209 , but Sultan Bayezid II captured it in 1500 . In 1532 , the Habsburg emperor Charles V ordered the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria to attack it as a diversion to the campaigns of the Little War in Hungary . Doria managed to capture the city , and to lay waste to the surrounding coast . In spring 1533 , the Ottoman Emperor Suleiman the Magnificent sent 60 galleys to retake the city . They blockaded the harbour , but they were defeated by Doria , highlighting the weakness of the Ottoman Navy at that time . An Ottoman land army however was successful in laying a siege around the city , forcing its surrender on 1 April 1534 . The weakened Spanish garrison was allowed to leave the city unharmed .

Austro - Turkish War ( 1787 – 91 ) The Austro – Turkish War of 1787 was an inconclusive struggle between the Austrian and Ottoman Empire s . It took place concurrently with the Russo – Turkish War of 1787 – 1792 . History . The decision to launch the war was made by the Austrian ruler Joseph II , who was in an alliance at the time with the Russian Empire under Catherine the Great . The Turks took the military initiative , driving back the Austrians from Mehadia and overrunning the Banat ( 1789 ) . Later on , the balance shifted toward Austria : Belgrade was taken from the Turks in a three - week campaign by the aging Field Marshal Laudon . However , in the final negotiated outcome ( " see : Treaty of Sistova " ) , Austria ' s gains were " meagre " . Miller specifies these as being " nothing more than the town of Orsova and two small places on the Croatian frontier . " On the Turkish side , the war was a disaster , due not to the losses of land to Austria ( which were largely recovered in negotiation ) but to the victories of Austria ' s ally Russia ; see Russo – Turkish War ( 1787 – 1792 ) . At the front , disease played a major role . According to Volkmar Braunbehrens , in the Austrian army during 1788 there were " epidemics : the lazaretto s were filled to capacity , half the army was sick , and thousands of soldiers died " . Joseph II spent most of the war at the front , and was one of those who fell ill there ; he ultimately died of his illness after his return home ( 20 February 1790 ) . The home front in Austria . Within Austria the war was " debilitating and unpopular " ( Maynard Solomon ) . He adds that " the morale of the cultural elite was severely eroded ; fears of conscription led many aristocratic families to leave Vienna , and there were widespread feelings of disillusionment with Emperor Joseph , a sense that he had betrayed the promise of an enlightened reform movement . " ; see Enlightened despotism . Braunbehrens describes the war thus : " There was open opposition , . . . fueled by the enormous economic burden it placed on the population . Food prices had risen drastically and in some cases doubled ; bakeries had been looted for the first time in Vienna ' s history . " A consequence of this social disruption was that the vibrant musical life of Vienna was greatly diminished , with the closure of two opera companies and decline of concerts and salon performance . This created trouble for the career of Mozart and other musicians similarly dependent on the aristocracy .
Ordinary Seaman ( rating ) In the Royal Navy in the middle of the 18th century , the term Ordinary Seaman was used to refer to a seaman with between one and two years ' experience at sea , who showed enough seamanship to be so rated by their captain . A seaman with less than a year ' s experience was referred to as a Landman , and one with more than two years ' experience was referred to as an Able Seaman . Later , the term was formalized as a rating for the lowest normal grade of seaman . They are not trained in any special task . They are required to work at physically hard tasks of great variety . One needs an Ordinary Seaman Certificate to obtain work . One can become an Able Seaman as a promotion from this position . The term Ordinary Seaman is currently used in the Canadian and Irish Naval Forces ( who inherited the military ranking structure from the previous generation of Royal Navy , Army , and Air Force ranks . ) It denotes an enlistee who is currently in training as a Non - Commission Member ( NCM ) of the Forces .
Mylonas rifle The Mylonas Rifle , usually referred as the M1872 Greek Mylonas is a Greek - designed falling block black powder rifle . It was designed and developed in 1872 by Greek Artillery Major Efstathios Mylonas ( Ευστάθιος Μυλωνάς ) , while working in the Athens technical facility of the Greek Military Material Authority ( " Eforeia Ylikou Polemou " , EYP ) . The 11 - mm caliber rifle was a modification of the M1870 Belgian Comblain but with a larger protruding hammer and uniquely styled actuating lever . It was adopted by the Greek Army and , as there was no facility in the country able to produce quantities with the required rate , its construction was ordered to " Emile et Leon Nagant " of Liege , Belgium . Thus , only the prototype was built in Greece . The Mylonas was shortly replaced by the M1874 French " Gras " rifle considered superior by the Greek Army . The " Gras " used the same chambering as the Mylonas , though it was introduced two years later , leading to speculation that the Gras ' s cartridge was based on the Mylonas ' s . The Mylonas rifle was used during the Thessaly campaign of 1878 and as a reserve in later conflicts , while some equipped police units . Due to its early replacement , a total of only approximately 8500 were built . Today Mylonas rifles are considered collectible items .

Cashiering Cashiering ( sometimes referred to as a degradation ceremony , although that term may be used more generally in sociology ) is a ritual dismissal of an individual from some position of responsibility for a breach of discipline . It is especially associated with the dismissal of military officers of high rank . Cashiering sometimes involved public degradation , with the destruction of symbols of status : epaulette s ripped off shoulders , badge s and insignia stripped , sword s broken , caps knocked away , and medal s torn out and dashed upon the ground . In addition , in the era when British Army officers generally bought their commissions , being cashiered meant that the amount they had paid was lost , as they could not " sell - out " afterwards . Famous examples . Famous victims of cashiering include Alfred Dreyfus ( see trial and conviction of Alfred Dreyfus and Dreyfus affair ) , Philippe Pétain , Thomas Cochrane , 10th Earl of Dundonald ( after the Great Stock Exchange Fraud of 1814 ) , and Francis Mitchell . In fiction . Cashiering is mentioned in Rudyard Kipling ' s poem " Danny Deever " , in which a British soldier in India is cashiered before being hanged for murder . In the cartoon " Fresh Hare " , Bugs Bunny is being chased by Elmer Fudd , in this case an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police . Bugs impersonates a senior officer and cashiers Elmer , not only tearing off his insignia and decorations but also his buttons and the rest of his uniform , even his undershorts . In the movie " Mary Poppins " , when a British banker is fired , a version of cashiering occurs : a member of the bank ' s board of directors ceremoniously tear up the carnation from his lapel , and then destroy the banker ' s hat and umbrella before showing him the door . In the TV Series " Branded " , Jason McCord is drummed out of the Cavalry . His sword is ceremonially broken in the opening credits . In the Honor Harrington novel " Field of Dishonor " , Pavel Young is cashiered when he is dishonorably discharged from the Royal Manticoran Navy . A form of cashiering is parodied in the film " " , in which after DJ Drake ( portrayed by Brendan Fraser ) is fired from his job as a security guard , his superior rips off all the badges on his uniform jacket one by one before ordering him to surrender the now - bare jacket , which ironically rendered the earlier moves unnecessary . In the manga / anime series " Fairy Tail " , Yukino Aguria is excommunicated from her guild " Sabertooth " by Guild Master Jiemma , who ordered her to strip herself naked and self - erase her guild mark before ordering her to leave . In the novel " The Crying of Lot 49 " , the Metzger character acted as a child star in a film called " Cashiered " , about a World War II British officer drummed out of the army on trumped up charges who tries to clear his name .
