Master Commandant Master commandant was a rank within the early United States Navy . The rank of master commandant was slightly higher than lieutenant , and a master commandant would often command warship s too small to justify the command of a full captain . In the United States Navy , the rank was shortened to " commander " in 1838 . The early U . S . Navy had three " grades " of officer who were typically placed in charge of warships : captain ; master commandant ; and lieutenant , commanding ( which was not a distinct rank , but a title given to an ordinary lieutenant ) . That structure remains largely in place in the modern American Navy , with the distinct ranks of captain , commander , and lieutenant commander . Master commandant was roughly equivalent to the Royal Navy rank of master and commander , which itself was shortened to " commander " in 1794 . When he was in command of a ship , such as a sloop or brig , a master commandant would be addressed as " Captain " by the sailors on board . American naval hero Stephen Decatur notably never held the rank of master commandant . After leading a daring raid to destroy the captured U . S . frigate " Philadelphia " in Tripoli Harbor in 1804 , Decatur returned to America as national hero and was given a direct promotion from lieutenant to captain . Also in 1804 , Master Commandant Richard Somers led a dozen volunteer sailors on the USS " Intrepid " — loaded with explosives — toward the pirate fleet in the harbor of Tripoli , Libya .

Fjell Fortress Fjell Fortress ( ) is located on the island of Sotra in the municipality of Fjell , Hordaland county , Norway . History . The fortress was built by the German occupation forces during the Second World War . The construction works were commenced late summer 1942 , and completed so far that they could fire the main gun for the first time as early as in June – July 1943 . The fort was a significant link in the coastal defence of Norway . Its main commission was to intercept the seaward approach to Bergen , and was esteemed as the strongest fortress in Northern Europe . The main gun was also to a certain extent employed in the interception of foreign aircraft raids against Bergen . The fortress has areas over and under the ground , with a network of tunnels two miles long on the surface and in the mountains . The fortress area is today the property of the Norwegian Armed Forces , while Sotra og Øygarden Forsvarsforening ( Sotra and Øygarden Defence Association ) are responsible for conducting the preservation and maintenance . After sending a petition , the municipal authorities was offered by the Norwegian Armed Forces , represented by Skifte Eiendom ( the Norwegian Armed Forces ' s property management ) , to take possession of the fortress area without compensation . The offer was rejected by the municipal authorities . The future fate of Fjell Fortress thus remains uncertain as of 2008 . The main gun turret . To mount the main gun turret at the fortress , it was necessary to dig 17 metres vertically into the mountain . This was considered a time - consuming task , so the main entrance and gun emplacement were constructed as an open ditch , and later covered with concrete , instead of blasting a tunnel into and down in the solid rock . As a result , water entering the tunnel system has been a problem ever since the tunnel was constructed . The work was mainly carried out by prisoners from eastern Europe , but also Norwegian prisoners participated . It is said that 25 prisoners died during the construction works , either as a result of frostbite , exhaustion or execution . The 28 cm SK C / 34 naval gun turret was taken from the battleship " Gneisenau " . It had three barrels , 28 . 3 centimetres each , and a range of 41 kilometres , from Fedje in the north to Stolmen in the south - but this was with the greatest possible charge . This was never used when the gun was mounted at Fjell , so the correct range at Fjell would be something like 37 km . The total weight of the gun was 1 , 000 metric tons .
T40 / M9 Tank Destroyer The 3 " Gun Motor Carriage T40 , later given the production model number M9 was a US tank destroyer ( a self - propelled gun designed for fighting tanks ) , of the early part of World War II .

The Japanese declaration of war against the US caused it to be accepted for production as the M40 . However , the project was terminated in April 1942 . The Tank Destroyer Board felt that the vehicle was too slow and the M1918 gun was not available in sufficient quantity .

Non - combatant evacuation operation A non - combatant evacuation operation ( NEO ) is an operation conducted to evacuate civilians from another country , generally due to a deteriorating security situation . United States of America . According to United States Military Joint Publication 3 - 68 , " Noncombatant Evacuation Operations " : This means that at times American citizens may become endangered in locations outside of the United States . This is usually due to civil unrest or war . However , it may also be due to a natural disaster . The U . S . Ambassador has the responsibility , according to law , to request a NEO . Once he does , the government will determine whether or not the evacuation should be done with civilian resources , such as the Civil Reserve Air Fleet ( CRAF ) , or with military forces . Even if military forces conduct the evacuation , the Ambassador remains in charge of the evacuation . The method of evacuation could include sealift , airlift , or even by road .

The Parinco mod . 3R submachine gun is blowback operated firing from an open bolt . Design and influence . The Mod . 3R is a simple blowback design and was made out of stamped sheet metal and a plastic grip frame . It uses the standard 9x19mm NATO round out of a 32 - shot box single column magazine . Army doctrine recommends to shortload the magazine to 28 rounds to prevent failures . A loading tool is used to assist loading the magazine . The gun was designed with a 280mm long barrel which featured a compensator and cooling fins . Empty casings are ejected out of the ejection port on the right which has a hinged dust cover . This cover opens automatically when cocking the gun . The bolt handle is on the left side and is non - reciprocating . The stock is heavy steel wire and it telescopes along the receiver ; one end is slotted for swabs and the other is threaded for a cleaning brush . The sights are fixed and set for a range of 50m .

IMI Galil MAR The Galil MAR ( also known as Micro Galil ) is a modification of the IMI Galil , made to battle at Close Quarters where the conventional Galil or the M - 16 can ' t be used . Description . Israel Military Industry has by no means decided that their Galil is beyond modification or improvement . For example , they came to realize that , by nature of its length , the Galil was not well - suited for close quarters engagements . Of course , the 9mm Uzi functions well in this arena , but there is quite a disparity between the Uzi ' s inherent firepower and that of the . 223 Galil . One solution that IMI has advanced to reduce size without losing firepower is an ultra - compact version of the Galil . Known as the Micro Galil , this sub - gun and the Uzi are both roughly equivalent in size whether their stocks are folded or extended . IMI has shortened its barrel to 7 . 6 inches in length , and it consequently requires a shorter gas tube . A special set of handguards were designed with lips at the front and rear to prevent the user ' s hand from slipping either way . The sights are arranged like those on the Uzi : front post adjustable for elevation , rear flip - type adjustable for windage and protective ears surrounding both . From a logistics standpoint , the Micro Galil has obvious advantages over the Uzi in that its bolt , fire control components and magazines are interchangeable with those of the larger . 223 Galil .

Only by the intervention of Philip VI of France was the war ended . By that time , the ties of Lorraine to France had become very strong . They were to become stronger under the half - Habsburg Rudolph . His second marriage was to the daughter of a French lord , Guy I of Blois , and niece of the king of France . He also assisted Philip with troops to lift Edward III of England ' s Siege of Tournai ( 1340 ) in the opening phase of the Hundred Years ' War . During a brief Anglo - French peace , he journeyed to the Iberian Peninsula to aid Alfonso XI of Castile in the Reconquista . He battled the Moors of Granada and shone in the Battle of Gibraltar on 3 November 1340 . On his return to France , he came to the aid of his French brother - in - law , Charles of Blois , in the War of the Breton Succession . He returned to Philip ' s side at the Battle of Crécy and was killed there , along with many illustrious French cavaliers , on 26 August 1346 .

Eastbourne Aviation Company The Eastbourne Aviation Company was established by Major Bernard Fowler in 1909 on land between Eastbourne and Pevensey Bay . His original airfield lies under the present day industrial estate below St Anthony ' s Mount . In nearby Leeds Avenue an original Royal Naval Air Service ( RNAS ) guardhouse is the sole surviving building from this enterprise , and is now converted to a bungalow . A seaplane factory was also constructed on the Crumbles shingle beach where the Sovereign Centre swimming pool now stands . During the First World War aspiring pilots from all over the Commonwealth came to train here . A young trainee Dan Minchin learned to fly a Bristol Boxkite at this aerodrome and in 1927 attempted to cross the Atlantic in a Fokker V11A monoplane named " St Raphael " . Lieut Colonel Minchin and two colleagues were lost when the aircraft failed to reach Ottawa , Canada . A plaque on the wall below the ' RAF ' window of Eastbourne College in Blackwater Road commemorates the loss of this ' Old Eastbournian ' .
