USS Onondaga ( 1917 ) The second USS " Onondaga " was a Coast Guard cutter that served in the United States Navy in 1917 and 1918 during World War I . The United States Revenue Cutter Service cutter USRC " Onondaga " was built at Cleveland , Ohio in 1898 . Upon the merger of the Revenue Cutter Service with the United States Lifesaving Service to create the United States Coast Guard in 1915 , " Onondaga " became a United States Coast Guard Cutter . Until 1917 she was listed as an independent vessel operating out of Savannah , Georgia . Her assigned cruising district extended from Cape Romain , South Carolina , to Cape Canaveral , Florida . Transferred to the United States Navy on 9 April 1917 by Executive Order for World War I service , she continued to perform patrol , escort , and rescue operations out of Savannah . The highlight of her naval service occurred on 20 February 1918 , when she rescued the entire crew of the British steamship after she foundered on Diamond Shoals off the North Carolina coast . For acting in the best tradition of the seagoing services , Captain Frederick C . Billard , USCG , commanding officer of the cutter — together with the entire crew — received a commendation on 20 May from the British Admiralty . At the end of hostilities , " Onondaga " was returned to the United States Department of the Treasury to resume her Coast Guard service . She resumed patrol and rescue operations out of New London , Connecticut , until 1920 , at which time she transferred to Baltimore , Maryland . She continued to operate out of Baltimore until 1923 , when she decommissioned and was sold for scrap .
Bloch MB . 200 The MB . 200 was a French bomber aircraft of the 1930s designed and built by Societé des Avions Marcel Bloch . A twin - engined high - winged monoplane with a fixed undercarriage , over 200 MB . 200s were built for the French Air Force , and the type was also licence built by Czechoslovakia , but it soon became obsolete , and was largely phased out by the start of the Second World War . Development and design . The Bloch MB . 200 was designed in response to a 1932 requirement for a new day / night bomber to equip the French Air Force . It was a high - winged all - metal cantilever monoplane , with a slab - sided fuselage , powered by two Gnome & Rhône 14Kirs radial engines . It had a fixed tailwheel undercarriage and featured an enclosed cockpit for the pilots . Defensive machine gun s were in nose and dorsal gun turrets and an under fuselage gondola . The first of three prototypes flew on 26 June 1933 . As one of the winning designs for the competition , ( the other was the larger Farman F . 221 ) , an initial order for 30 MB . 200s was placed on 1 January 1934 , entering service late in that year . Further orders followed , and the MB . 200 equipped 12 French squadrons by the end of 1935 . Production in France totalled over 208 aircraft ( 4 by Bloch , 19 by Breguet , 19 by Loire , 45 by Hanriot , 10 by SNCASO and 111 by Potez . Operational history . Czechoslovakia chose the MB . 200 as part of a modernisation program for its air force of the mid - 1930s . Although at the rate of aircraft development at that time , the MB . 200 would quickly become obsolete , the Czechoslovakians needed a quick solution involving the license production of a proven design , as their own aircraft industry did not have sufficient development experience with such a large aircraft , or with all - metal airframes and stressed - skin construction , placing an initial order for 74 aircraft . After some delays , both Aero and Avia began license - production in 1937 , with a total of about 124 built . Czechoslovakian MB . 200s were basically similar to their French counterparts , with differences in defensive armament and other equipment . The gradual German conquest of Czechoslovakia meant that MB . 200s eventually passed under their control , including aircraft that were still coming off the production line . As well as serving in the German " Luftwaffe " , some bombers were distributed to Bulgaria . Vichy France deployed a squadron of MB . 200s against the Allied invasion of Lebanon and Syria in 1941 , carrying out at least one daylight bombing mission against British shipping .

Basic Officer Leaders Course The Basic Officer Leaders Course ( BOLC ) is a two - phased training course designed to produce commissioned officers in the United States Army . It is a progressive model designed to produce US Army officers with leadership skills , small unit tactics and certain branch specific capabilities . BOLC A . For almost all Army officers , Phase I of BOLC consists of pre - commissioning training , either through Reserve Officers ' Training Corps , Officer Candidate School , or the United States Military Academy . It is at this stage the officer candidate learns basic leadership skills and basic small unit tactics . For many direct commissioned officers ( generally only medical providers such as doctors and nurses , as well as lawyers ) , BOLC A consists of a four - week Direct Commission Officer Course ( DCO ) at Ft . Benning , Georgia . The primary purpose of this post - commissioning training is to allow those officers who generally have little to no prior military experience to obtain the skills necessary to continue on to BOLC B . DCO may not be required for all direct commissioned officers with prior service experience , but it is still required for active duty officers who participate in the Judge Advocate General Corps ' Funded Legal Education Program . BOLC B . The second phase of the Basic Officer Leaders Course - previously referred to as the Officer Basic Course ( OBC ) and BOLC III - is designed to develop new combat - effective officers and train them to perform their wartime duties as commissioned officers . It is during this phase that they learn the specifics of the systems and equipment they will use in their duty unit .

Salcombe Castle Salcombe Castle or Fort Charles is a ruined fortification just off the beach of North Sands in Salcombe , Devon , England , within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . It is located on a rocky outcrop which is easily reached on foot at low tide . History . The castle is thought to have been constructed originally during the reign of Henry VIII , to defend the Kingsbridge estuary against French and Spanish pirates . It was the last place to hold out in the Royal cause against the victorious Parliamentarian troops of Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War . Sir Edmund Fortescue was ordered to hold it in 1643 , when nearby Plymouth rose against the king ; he rebuilt the castle at a cost of £135 6s 11d , and gave it the name " Fort Charles " . The castle was besieged from 15 January to 7 May 1646 , and surrendered then only because it became clear that all other royalist strongholds had been overrun ; the garrison were allowed to withdraw with their colours flying . After the Civil War the castle was " slighted " ( ruined ) on the orders of Parliament as it was " too dangerous " to allow it to remain . The Sealed Knot staged a reenactment of the siege in 1996 to commemorate its 350th anniversary .

General stores issue ship General stores issue ship is a type of ship used by the United States Navy during World War II and for some time afterwards . The task of the " general stores issue ship " was to sail into non - combat , or rear , areas and disburse general stores , such as canned goods , toilet paper , office supplies , etc . , to ships and stations . Commanding officer s and supply officer s of ships and stations would sign requisitions for what they required , and a small boat , such as a LCVP , would make the trip to the general stores issue ship to have the requisitions filled . General stores issue ships would provision in the States before sailing to the non - combat areas . However , rather than sail back to the States to reprovision , they would often remain at their location and provision from general cargo ships sent from the States to replenish their stores . For example , the USS Pollux ( AKS - 4 ) , homeported in Yokosuka , Japan , during the 1960s , maintained an inventory or 25 , 000 line items , supplying Seventh Fleet units with numerous items , augmented by other supply vessels delivering specialty materials , including foods , ammunition , and fuels . During a typical underway replenishment of a naval grouping ( usually a squadron ) , Pollux would deliver supplies , via cargo nets and highline , while steaming at typically 15 knots , alongside receiving ships . Overall material could include hundreds of items , at a typical weight total to 120 tons to an aircraft carrier , 25 - 35 tons to a cruiser , 6 - 10 tons to a destroyer , as well as commensurate amounts to auxiliary ships ( troop carriers , repair vessels , etc . ) . Along with the emphasis of underway replenishment ( UNREP ' s ) , also delivered supplies to ships in various ports as well ( INREP ' s ) . Estimated that Pollux alone supplied as much as one - sixth of Seventh Fleet ' s general logistical needs . Example of use . An example of use of the requisition system used by the general stores issue ship can be found in the narrative of the Volans ( AKS - 9 ) .

Leopold Philip de Heister Leopold Philip de Heister ( 1707 - 19 November 1777 Hesse - Cassel ) was a Hessian general who fought for the British during the American Revolution . He was a crippled veteran of many campaigns when he was selected to command the Hessian troops that were hired by the British government for service against the American colonies . He landed on Long Island near New Utrecht with two full Hessian brigades on 25 August 1776 , three days after the arrival of Gen . William Howe with the British troops . The tedious passage of thirteen weeks from Spithead had tried him sorely : “ his patience and tobacco had become exhausted . He called for hock , and swallowed large potations to the health of his friends . ” Soon after debarking , the invading army prepared for marching , the Hessians under De Heister forming the centre , or main body . They cannonaded the works at Flatbush Pass , and De Heister ordered Count Donop to storm the redoubt , while he pressed forward with his troops . “ Our Hessians and our brave Highlanders gave no quarter , ” wrote a British officer , “ and it was a fine sight to see with what alacrity they despatched the rebels with their bayonets , after we surrounded them so they could not resist . ” Heister also commanded the Hessians at White Plains , 28 October 1776 .
